"Extremely well written, clearly argued and nicely illustrated,this book offers a wonderfully detailed case study of tea andcoffee cultivation in South India - in all its multi-scalarinstitutional and regulatory contexts - and yet also speakspowerfully to a variety of wider theoretical issues concerningglobal value chains, global private regulation, and ethical andsustainable production schemes." -Neil Coe, University of Manchester "This book gets to the roots of new trading arrangements in thecoffee and tea sectors which affect the lives of struggling growersin South India. Adoption of a meaningful global value chainapproach that links production, trade and consumption is the uniquefeature of this book. Arrays of issues including history,geography, politics and culture at local, regional and nationallevels have been covered. It is certainly a valuable, scholarly andpolicy contribution." -P. G. Chengappa, Vice Chancellor, Universityof Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore, India
