Abstract
The study was carried out with the objective to examine the production and export
performance of tea in India. The study was based on secondary data pertaining to the period
1990 to 2018. The different analytical techniques applied in the study were Growth analysis,
Revealed Comparative Advantage, Revealed Symmetric Comparative Advantage, Nominal
Protection Coefficient, Augmented Dickey Fuller test, and multiple linear regression analysis.
The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of area, production and yield of tea in major
tea producing states of India namely Assam, West Bengal, and Karnataka were observed to be
significant during the period 1990-2018 except in Tamil Nadu and Kerala. The major
importing countries of tea export from India are Russian Federation, United Arab, United
Kingdom, Iran and United States of America. The CAGR in terms of value of tea to major
importing countries were positive and significant in Russia, Iran, United States of America,
and United Kingdom. The instability index was found to be more in United Kingdom
(23.78%), followed by United Arab Emirates (22.86%), Russia (15.35%), United States of
America (7.89%) and Iran (6.26%). NPC, RCA, and RSCA techniques indicated that tea was
an export competitive product from India, but trend was decreasing. The estimated regression
model of determinants of tea export has shown positive and significant relationship with
international price and export price. Other variables such as exchange rate, lagged production
and domestic consumption were non-significant.
