PROMOTING PEOPLE

LOCAL-ECONOMY

Rural communities are dependent on sustainable local agriculture.Farmers can help build and sustain these communities by buying and resourcing locally.

Good Practice

Use local suppliers wherever practical (bearing in mind reliability and cost). Use local employees as much as possible. Encourage employees to send their earnings to their home and family. Potential Areas For Improvement Consider working with local communities to develop businesses that reduce the need to import goods and services (for the farm or for employees) from further afield. Work with the National Tea Boards and Tea Research Institutes to provide guidelines for the efficient management of tea production, marketing and processing.
