Empowering  

Small Tea Growers

TRINITEA helps small tea growers raise robust and productive tea farms following good agricultural practices that prevent soil degradation and ensure quality green leaves. The programme establishes a clear connection between the welfare of small tea growers, their access to the market, remunerative pricing for the green leaf/leaves and sustainable farming practices. The key outcomes for the tea growers associated with TRINITEA include: 

Sustainability

for

Growers

Tea consumers worldwide are demanding a higher level of sustainable practices and food safety compliance. However, small tea growers often lack technical knowledge and inputs to produce higher-grade tea. This leads to inefficient fertilizer and pesticide use, lower quality leaf and poor remuneration, creating a cycle of poverty. The small tea growers, who are far down the supply chain, receive less than 3 percent of the retail value of their tea. They require dedicated and continuous support for adopting the best agricultural practices to produce quality, safe and sustainable tea, and/while getting rewarded with remunerative pricing for their produce. 

TRINITEA focuses on a continuous improvement model to provide technical assistance to tea growers. They are introduced to a digital self-assessment tool that keeps them engaged and motivated, while supporting the business requirements for credible assurance. 

The Indian Tea Association (ITA) and Solidaridad have created a panel of tea industry experts who prepare the curriculum and provide on-site guidance to small tea growers, throughout the year, to equip them with the best practices.
