"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."

"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."
