"Extremely well written, clearly argued and nicely illustrated, this book offers a wonderfully detailed case study of tea and coffee cultivation in South India - in all its multi-scalar institutional and regulatory contexts - and yet also speaks powerfully to a variety of wider theoretical issues concerning global value chains, global private regulation, and ethical and sustainable production schemes."
Neil Coe, University of Manchester

"This book gets to the roots of new trading arrangements in the coffee and tea sectors which affect the lives of struggling growers in South India. Adoption of a meaningful global value chain approach that links production, trade and consumption is the unique feature of this book. Arrays of issues including history, geography, politics and culture at local, regional and national levels have been covered. It is certainly a valuable, scholarly and policy contribution."
P. G. Chengappa, Vice Chancellor, University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore, India
