TEA PACKAGING
[EIRI/EDPR/1052](J.C.9696)
INTRODUCTION
Tea is one of the most popular beverages and is consumed by nearly half of the world population. India was the first country to cultivate the tea as far back as 2737 B.C. Tea is made from the young leaves & unopened buds of the plant 'Camelia Binerisies'. This plant is grown in tropical and subtropical regions. It is considered to be native of Assam and upper Indo- China.
In 1971, the total area under tea plantation was 13,57,000 hectares and production levelled at 13,04,800 tones in the world. The Britishers consume about 30% of total worlds tea production. nly 15 tea exporting nations combinely accounting for 92 % of the world tea trade.
This is the reason why packaging of tea has grown multidimensional in last few years. India is self-sufficient in manufacturing automatic weighing & packing machines today & such machines are being even exported to various neighbouring countries. The Indian machine manufacturers are mostly in large scale sectors & a few in small & medium scale too. Simple packing machine to Duplex tea packers are all equally competent for the purpose & are manufactured by leading tea processing machine manufactures of India. Automatic tea packing machine is the latest advancement in the field, which makes packing faster & secured. Small packs in 50, 100, 250, 500 grms & 1 kg packets are usually prepared in paper board packets where as packing of large quantities are usually done in tin containers for retail selling. Tea chets of plywood are preferred for shipment of processed tea in substantially large quantities. Since tea industry is an evergreen industry hence the packing of tea continues round the year irrespective of reason or weather. That is why it is considered to be a very stable industry & the men working in the line are employed on permanent basis & are quite experienced in the job. This industry can be set up in small scale as well as large scale unit, but it remains basically a labour intensive industry with a very attractive profitability. The machines used are available indigenously in a very wide range of performances & qualities. Some leading manufacturers of these machines produce machines of quantities comparable to any grid machine in the world.
As far as raw materials & other consumables are concerned, every thing is available indigenously & at reasonable rates too. Since this industry creates a limited pollution of air & can be controlled effectively by the use of dust collector type of arrangements. There is not much difficulty in getting clearances from various government offices before setting up the plant. In this way this industry seems to be much suitable for India.
This industry could be set up in any part of the country where normal utilities could be made available.
