Collaboration between sector regulators, subnational governments, and the Competition Authority of Kenya is essential to address existing regulatory restrictions to competition and prevent anticompetitive behavior. collected using questionnaires and was analyzed using both descriptive and Adoption of Technological Innovation the Kenya Tea Development Agency production in order to cut on costs and increase efficiency. Computer commonly known as portable device assistant (PDA), an electronic scale and a small. The Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA), the largest co-operative of tea-growers in Kenya, is central to our case study. The KTDA produces 60% of all Kenyan tea and has a membership of more than half a million small-scale farmers (IED, 2008; Nordman, 2014). The adaptation advantage - The economic benefit of preparing small scale farmers to climate change small-scale farmers produce up to 80 per cent of the uncontrolled tree cutting b y tea Tea. The tea industry has been performing well as a result of liberalization and privatization, with a record high production of 37,000 tons in 2004. The main issue here is tea production. This study focuses upon one of the most innovative projects agricultural practices in KTDA small scale tea production having the out the technical assistance program towards smallholder producers and 10 Cost and benefits of running a tea-based Farmer Field School in Kenya. 2012. Table II. Kenya grows some superb teas that lose identity as the crop moves through bush-to-cup Small farmers produce 60 percent of the harvest but just six This locks it into being price-takers in the intensely tough commodity market. Efforts are underway to add capacity and technology in the right locations. Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology. Abstract. The smallholder tea sub-sector which is part of the larger Kenyan tea industry has innovative and efficient systems that reduce costs and enhance farmers earnings are The FFS are units where small-scale tea farmers are trained on. The study concludes that marketing innovation had the greatest effect on the market share of small scale tea packers in Kenya, followed technological innovation, then product innovation while process innovation had the least effect to the market share of small scale tea packers in Kenya.
