production of tea in Kenya was enacted as the Tea Ordinance, 1934 (No. 46 of 1934). This Ordinance was revised by the Tea Ordinance, 1948 (No. 52 of 1948) which became effective on 15th August, 1948. The objectives of the Tea Ordinance, 1948 were to provide for the control of the production of tea in the Colony. The institution of the Directorate of Agriculture was responsible for controlling the production of tea by issuing licences and permits to farmers until 1950 when the Tea Board of Kenya was established under the Tea Act (Cap 343) to regulate the industry.\r\n\r\nBy the time Africans started planting tea among other cash crops, between 1956 and 1959, European farmers were already experienced in the cultivation of tea. In 1957, the first smallholder tea factory was set up in Ragati, (Nyeri County) and was run through a management agreement with multinational tea companies.\r\n\r\nTo promote the cultivation of cash crops amongst the smallholder growers, the Special Crops Development Authority (SCDA) was formed under the Agriculture Act in 1960.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner

production of tea in Kenya was enacted as the Tea Ordinance, 1934 (No. 46 of 1934). This Ordinance was revised by the Tea Ordinance, 1948 (No. 52 of 1948) which became effective on 15th August, 1948. The objectives of the Tea Ordinance, 1948 were to provide for the control of the production of tea in the Colony. The institution of the Directorate of Agriculture was responsible for controlling the production of tea by issuing licences and permits to farmers until 1950 when the Tea Board of Kenya was established under the Tea Act (Cap 343) to regulate the industry.\r\n\r\nBy the time Africans started planting tea among other cash crops, between 1956 and 1959, European farmers were already experienced in the cultivation of tea. In 1957, the first smallholder tea factory was set up in Ragati, (Nyeri County) and was run through a management agreement with multinational tea companies.\r\n\r\nTo promote the cultivation of cash crops amongst the smallholder growers, the Special Crops Development Authority (SCDA) was formed under the Agriculture Act in 1960.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner

production of tea in Kenya was enacted as the Tea Ordinance, 1934 (No. 46 of 1934). This Ordinance was revised by the Tea Ordinance, 1948 (No. 52 of 1948) which became effective on 15th August, 1948. The objectives of the Tea Ordinance, 1948 were to provide for the control of the production of tea in the Colony. The institution of the Directorate of Agriculture was responsible for controlling the production of tea by issuing licences and permits to farmers until 1950 when the Tea Board of Kenya was established under the Tea Act (Cap 343) to regulate the industry.\r\n\r\nBy the time Africans started planting tea among other cash crops, between 1956 and 1959, European farmers were already experienced in the cultivation of tea. In 1957, the first smallholder tea factory was set up in Ragati, (Nyeri County) and was run through a management agreement with multinational tea companies.\r\n\r\nTo promote the cultivation of cash crops amongst the smallholder growers, the Special Crops Development Authority (SCDA) was formed under the Agriculture Act in 1960.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner

production of tea in Kenya was enacted as the Tea Ordinance, 1934 (No. 46 of 1934). This Ordinance was revised by the Tea Ordinance, 1948 (No. 52 of 1948) which became effective on 15th August, 1948. The objectives of the Tea Ordinance, 1948 were to provide for the control of the production of tea in the Colony. The institution of the Directorate of Agriculture was responsible for controlling the production of tea by issuing licences and permits to farmers until 1950 when the Tea Board of Kenya was established under the Tea Act (Cap 343) to regulate the industry.\r\n\r\nBy the time Africans started planting tea among other cash crops, between 1956 and 1959, European farmers were already experienced in the cultivation of tea. In 1957, the first smallholder tea factory was set up in Ragati, (Nyeri County) and was run through a management agreement with multinational tea companies.\r\n\r\nTo promote the cultivation of cash crops amongst the smallholder growers, the Special Crops Development Authority (SCDA) was formed under the Agriculture Act in 1960.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner

production of tea in Kenya was enacted as the Tea Ordinance, 1934 (No. 46 of 1934). This Ordinance was revised by the Tea Ordinance, 1948 (No. 52 of 1948) which became effective on 15th August, 1948. The objectives of the Tea Ordinance, 1948 were to provide for the control of the production of tea in the Colony. The institution of the Directorate of Agriculture was responsible for controlling the production of tea by issuing licences and permits to farmers until 1950 when the Tea Board of Kenya was established under the Tea Act (Cap 343) to regulate the industry.\r\n\r\nBy the time Africans started planting tea among other cash crops, between 1956 and 1959, European farmers were already experienced in the cultivation of tea. In 1957, the first smallholder tea factory was set up in Ragati, (Nyeri County) and was run through a management agreement with multinational tea companies.\r\n\r\nTo promote the cultivation of cash crops amongst the smallholder growers, the Special Crops Development Authority (SCDA) was formed under the Agriculture Act in 1960.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner

production of tea in Kenya was enacted as the Tea Ordinance, 1934 (No. 46 of 1934). This Ordinance was revised by the Tea Ordinance, 1948 (No. 52 of 1948) which became effective on 15th August, 1948. The objectives of the Tea Ordinance, 1948 were to provide for the control of the production of tea in the Colony. The institution of the Directorate of Agriculture was responsible for controlling the production of tea by issuing licences and permits to farmers until 1950 when the Tea Board of Kenya was established under the Tea Act (Cap 343) to regulate the industry.\r\n\r\nBy the time Africans started planting tea among other cash crops, between 1956 and 1959, European farmers were already experienced in the cultivation of tea. In 1957, the first smallholder tea factory was set up in Ragati, (Nyeri County) and was run through a management agreement with multinational tea companies.\r\n\r\nTo promote the cultivation of cash crops amongst the smallholder growers, the Special Crops Development Authority (SCDA) was formed under the Agriculture Act in 1960.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner

production of tea in Kenya was enacted as the Tea Ordinance, 1934 (No. 46 of 1934). This Ordinance was revised by the Tea Ordinance, 1948 (No. 52 of 1948) which became effective on 15th August, 1948. The objectives of the Tea Ordinance, 1948 were to provide for the control of the production of tea in the Colony. The institution of the Directorate of Agriculture was responsible for controlling the production of tea by issuing licences and permits to farmers until 1950 when the Tea Board of Kenya was established under the Tea Act (Cap 343) to regulate the industry.\r\n\r\nBy the time Africans started planting tea among other cash crops, between 1956 and 1959, European farmers were already experienced in the cultivation of tea. In 1957, the first smallholder tea factory was set up in Ragati, (Nyeri County) and was run through a management agreement with multinational tea companies.\r\n\r\nTo promote the cultivation of cash crops amongst the smallholder growers, the Special Crops Development Authority (SCDA) was formed under the Agriculture Act in 1960.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner

production of tea in Kenya was enacted as the Tea Ordinance, 1934 (No. 46 of 1934). This Ordinance was revised by the Tea Ordinance, 1948 (No. 52 of 1948) which became effective on 15th August, 1948. The objectives of the Tea Ordinance, 1948 were to provide for the control of the production of tea in the Colony. The institution of the Directorate of Agriculture was responsible for controlling the production of tea by issuing licences and permits to farmers until 1950 when the Tea Board of Kenya was established under the Tea Act (Cap 343) to regulate the industry.\r\n\r\nBy the time Africans started planting tea among other cash crops, between 1956 and 1959, European farmers were already experienced in the cultivation of tea. In 1957, the first smallholder tea factory was set up in Ragati, (Nyeri County) and was run through a management agreement with multinational tea companies.\r\n\r\nTo promote the cultivation of cash crops amongst the smallholder growers, the Special Crops Development Authority (SCDA) was formed under the Agriculture Act in 1960.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner

production of tea in Kenya was enacted as the Tea Ordinance, 1934 (No. 46 of 1934). This Ordinance was revised by the Tea Ordinance, 1948 (No. 52 of 1948) which became effective on 15th August, 1948. The objectives of the Tea Ordinance, 1948 were to provide for the control of the production of tea in the Colony. The institution of the Directorate of Agriculture was responsible for controlling the production of tea by issuing licences and permits to farmers until 1950 when the Tea Board of Kenya was established under the Tea Act (Cap 343) to regulate the industry.\r\n\r\nBy the time Africans started planting tea among other cash crops, between 1956 and 1959, European farmers were already experienced in the cultivation of tea. In 1957, the first smallholder tea factory was set up in Ragati, (Nyeri County) and was run through a management agreement with multinational tea companies.\r\n\r\nTo promote the cultivation of cash crops amongst the smallholder growers, the Special Crops Development Authority (SCDA) was formed under the Agriculture Act in 1960.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner

production of tea in Kenya was enacted as the Tea Ordinance, 1934 (No. 46 of 1934). This Ordinance was revised by the Tea Ordinance, 1948 (No. 52 of 1948) which became effective on 15th August, 1948. The objectives of the Tea Ordinance, 1948 were to provide for the control of the production of tea in the Colony. The institution of the Directorate of Agriculture was responsible for controlling the production of tea by issuing licences and permits to farmers until 1950 when the Tea Board of Kenya was established under the Tea Act (Cap 343) to regulate the industry.\r\n\r\nBy the time Africans started planting tea among other cash crops, between 1956 and 1959, European farmers were already experienced in the cultivation of tea. In 1957, the first smallholder tea factory was set up in Ragati, (Nyeri County) and was run through a management agreement with multinational tea companies.\r\n\r\nTo promote the cultivation of cash crops amongst the smallholder growers, the Special Crops Development Authority (SCDA) was formed under the Agriculture Act in 1960.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner

production of tea in Kenya was enacted as the Tea Ordinance, 1934 (No. 46 of 1934). This Ordinance was revised by the Tea Ordinance, 1948 (No. 52 of 1948) which became effective on 15th August, 1948. The objectives of the Tea Ordinance, 1948 were to provide for the control of the production of tea in the Colony. The institution of the Directorate of Agriculture was responsible for controlling the production of tea by issuing licences and permits to farmers until 1950 when the Tea Board of Kenya was established under the Tea Act (Cap 343) to regulate the industry.\r\n\r\nBy the time Africans started planting tea among other cash crops, between 1956 and 1959, European farmers were already experienced in the cultivation of tea. In 1957, the first smallholder tea factory was set up in Ragati, (Nyeri County) and was run through a management agreement with multinational tea companies.\r\n\r\nTo promote the cultivation of cash crops amongst the smallholder growers, the Special Crops Development Authority (SCDA) was formed under the Agriculture Act in 1960.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner

production of tea in Kenya was enacted as the Tea Ordinance, 1934 (No. 46 of 1934). This Ordinance was revised by the Tea Ordinance, 1948 (No. 52 of 1948) which became effective on 15th August, 1948. The objectives of the Tea Ordinance, 1948 were to provide for the control of the production of tea in the Colony. The institution of the Directorate of Agriculture was responsible for controlling the production of tea by issuing licences and permits to farmers until 1950 when the Tea Board of Kenya was established under the Tea Act (Cap 343) to regulate the industry.\r\n\r\nBy the time Africans started planting tea among other cash crops, between 1956 and 1959, European farmers were already experienced in the cultivation of tea. In 1957, the first smallholder tea factory was set up in Ragati, (Nyeri County) and was run through a management agreement with multinational tea companies.\r\n\r\nTo promote the cultivation of cash crops amongst the smallholder growers, the Special Crops Development Authority (SCDA) was formed under the Agriculture Act in 1960.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner

production of tea in Kenya was enacted as the Tea Ordinance, 1934 (No. 46 of 1934). This Ordinance was revised by the Tea Ordinance, 1948 (No. 52 of 1948) which became effective on 15th August, 1948. The objectives of the Tea Ordinance, 1948 were to provide for the control of the production of tea in the Colony. The institution of the Directorate of Agriculture was responsible for controlling the production of tea by issuing licences and permits to farmers until 1950 when the Tea Board of Kenya was established under the Tea Act (Cap 343) to regulate the industry.\r\n\r\nBy the time Africans started planting tea among other cash crops, between 1956 and 1959, European farmers were already experienced in the cultivation of tea. In 1957, the first smallholder tea factory was set up in Ragati, (Nyeri County) and was run through a management agreement with multinational tea companies.\r\n\r\nTo promote the cultivation of cash crops amongst the smallholder growers, the Special Crops Development Authority (SCDA) was formed under the Agriculture Act in 1960.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner

production of tea in Kenya was enacted as the Tea Ordinance, 1934 (No. 46 of 1934). This Ordinance was revised by the Tea Ordinance, 1948 (No. 52 of 1948) which became effective on 15th August, 1948. The objectives of the Tea Ordinance, 1948 were to provide for the control of the production of tea in the Colony. The institution of the Directorate of Agriculture was responsible for controlling the production of tea by issuing licences and permits to farmers until 1950 when the Tea Board of Kenya was established under the Tea Act (Cap 343) to regulate the industry.\r\n\r\nBy the time Africans started planting tea among other cash crops, between 1956 and 1959, European farmers were already experienced in the cultivation of tea. In 1957, the first smallholder tea factory was set up in Ragati, (Nyeri County) and was run through a management agreement with multinational tea companies.\r\n\r\nTo promote the cultivation of cash crops amongst the smallholder growers, the Special Crops Development Authority (SCDA) was formed under the Agriculture Act in 1960.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner

production of tea in Kenya was enacted as the Tea Ordinance, 1934 (No. 46 of 1934). This Ordinance was revised by the Tea Ordinance, 1948 (No. 52 of 1948) which became effective on 15th August, 1948. The objectives of the Tea Ordinance, 1948 were to provide for the control of the production of tea in the Colony. The institution of the Directorate of Agriculture was responsible for controlling the production of tea by issuing licences and permits to farmers until 1950 when the Tea Board of Kenya was established under the Tea Act (Cap 343) to regulate the industry.\r\n\r\nBy the time Africans started planting tea among other cash crops, between 1956 and 1959, European farmers were already experienced in the cultivation of tea. In 1957, the first smallholder tea factory was set up in Ragati, (Nyeri County) and was run through a management agreement with multinational tea companies.\r\n\r\nTo promote the cultivation of cash crops amongst the smallholder growers, the Special Crops Development Authority (SCDA) was formed under the Agriculture Act in 1960.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner
