Inclusive Growth: Cordillera Corridor Tea Trade Treaty

Molintas, Dominique Trual (2023): Inclusive Growth: Cordillera Corridor Tea Trade Treaty.

Abstract

This manuscript posits the GCC equation to outline the parameters of the Cordillera Corridor, Tea Trade Treaty. A tea corridor is the strategy for resource use of rugged mountain terrain in the Cordillera, Philippines; and the GCC equation substantiates the rudiments for cross-border competence. GCC would mean the “Gateway to Cross-border Competence” defined in a mathematical construct. The equation has specific relevance in the conjectures of tea cultivation, for the empowerment of Accession.

GCC EQUATION = χ Y0

The equation is formulated by meta-analysis of cross-sectional case studies synthesised by stochastic abstraction to obtain the tangible limit of three rudiments: yield constant ratio— Y0; land utilisation— and purchase value constant ratio—χ.

Yield constant ratio Y0; is derived from yield-hectares Y, yield-substrate Y1, yield-weed-slump Y2 and yield-weed-envelope Y3. Land utilisation is a dependent variable defined by the labour in agriculture divided by the mean persons per hectares in all instances is less than the total area to comprise the elevations ideal for tea growth, as determined by NAMRIA. Lastly, Χ is the purchase-value constant ratio determined through stochastic abstraction of 25 years tea auctions published by the London Tea Brokers of tea farmers in Africa and India.

The strategy significantly underscores trade as a function of equity. With reason of, the research is a manifestation of the theory of change by illustration of the theory of competition. Inclusion and facilitation are the mechanisms of development, construed though farm support infrastructure, investing in health and wellness. Facilitation introduces the earmarking of Tea Tariffs for compulsory university schooling of the generation next. Trade escalates Government liquidity and institutionalises stable farmer earnings. Given so, good life for these smallholder farmers is achievable. A special section captures the smallholder farmer opinion and sentiment in written and conversational exchange of ideas. Despite the uncalled hyperbole of a Cordillera Corridor intentions for manipulation, the section exposed the farmers' gung-ho to participate in tea cultivation for trade, that can only be curtailed by dearth of expertise and capital.
