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.
