Abstract: This manuscript posits a theoretical
construct for the cultivation and export of tea, as a strategy for the optimal
resource use of idle slopes in the Cordillera. This meta-analysis is a
compilation of cross-sectional data synthesized using mathematical rigor by
stochastic abstraction to complete a comprehensive study with the original
methodology for determining tea yield. To substantiate the rudiments for cross-border
competence, a Tea Corridor “equation” is defined in a mathematical construct
with specific relevance for conjectures of tea cultivation for the empowerment
of Accession.
The equation obtained the tangible limit
of three rudiments: yield constant ratio—Y0; land utilization—𝜁; and the
purchase value constant ratio—χ.
The yield constant ratio Y0 is derived
as the sum of yield-hectares, yield-substrate, yield-weed-slump and
yield-weed-envelope. Land utilization 𝜁 is a
dependent variable defined by the labor in agriculture divided by the mean
persons per hectare. 𝜁 in
all instances is less than the total area to comprise the elevations ideal for
tea growth determined by the National Mapping and Resource Information
Agency/NAMRIA. Finally, Χ is the purchase-value constant ratio determined
through stochastic abstraction of 25-year prices in tea auctions published by
the London Tea Brokers of tea farmers in Africa and India.
The Tea Corridor evolved into a National Programme of the Department of Agriculture implemented across four distinct agencies: the Bureau of Plant Industry for Plant Material, the Bureau of Soils & Water Management for Water impounding Facilities, the Agricultural Training Institute for Farmers Training and Skills Transfer, the International Affairs Division for Exporting Activity and Target 15 Tea Demonstration Gardens, and the National Urban & Peri-Urban Agriculture Program.
