THETEA BOOM IN KENYA - THE LARGEST

FOREIGN EXCHANGEEARNER.

A SUCCESS DRIVEN BY SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

CROP IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM. i.e REPLANTING

OLD TEA PLANTATIONS WITH NEW CLONALSELECTIONS THAT ARE MORE PRODUCTIVE ANDRESISTANT TO PEST, DISEASE AND DROUGHT

LARGE SCALE EXPANSION OF NEW TEA

PLANTATIONS (125,000 hectares in 2001 to187,000 hectares in 2010)

MELTING AND RETREAT OF THE MOUNTAIN GLACIER


16/30

Effects of climate change on Tea enterprises.

Shifts in crop distribution.Yield decline or increase in some catchments. Quality decline in some catchments. Harvest losses due to Unpredictable risks of

increasing extreme weather events e.g droughts, hail Soil fertility decline and degradation/landslidesdue to erosion. Shift in disease and pest dynamics- e.g. Increaseof pest infestation in some catchments (Helopeltis,Mites) and resurgence of some diseases like highlandmalaria Loss of biodiversityand desertification


17/30

WAY FORWARD

Global warming will persist.

Adaptation is the only option


18/30

TEA AND HEALTH

WHY HEALTH?It is inherent in the consumers mind that tea is good forhuman health.

This Powerful message differentiates teafrom other competitive beverages.

Problem encountered:

Countries like China, Vietnam, Cambodia, etc haveexpressed their reservation on this issue.

CONCLUSION

LESSONS LEARNED

1. After 50 years it becomes necessary to replace oldplantations because

a. Yield decreasesb. Decline in qualityc. Decline in soil fertility/ degradation due to soil

erosion

d. Decrease in the income of farmerse. Increase of pest manifestation and diseases


27/30

2.Adopt selective clonal varieties that are moreproductive and adaptable to the regions

a. Yield are better between 8,000 kg to 15,000 kg G/Lper acre

b. Better inherent qualityc. In built resistance to pests, diseases, etcd. Growing of low water demand (drought resistant)

tea clones /varietiese. Better income to farmersf. Growth achieved by replanting (seedlings)


28/30

(Rs 14.24)


29/30

3.Farmers education on judicious use of inputs e.g fertilizers

Govt. to Review or Subsidise cost of inputs to help farmers

improve their conditions of living.
