Conclusion
Agriculture commodities (like tea) in the developing countries are facing price competition. Poor land management, plucking inefficiency and high manufacturing cost which may be observed in the value chain, hinders their growth. It can be concluded from the study that the managers of the tea estates of Bangladesh are reluctant to maintain the tea bushes which further reduces tea production and abruptly affects yield and quality of green leaves. This in turn raises cost in the value chain and lessens price of tea in the auction market. About 40% of tea estates of the country have yield below 1000 kg./hectare. Among these low yield gardens, yield of around 50% gardens is less than 600 kg./hectare though they possess large areas of land for tea cultivation.
