The package also transfers data from the garden to the head office seamlessly including integration.

In view of the requirement of bank accounts and NEFT transfers for all workers we are also developing a link by which the NEFT payment advice will be system generated and can be forwarded to the bank for immediate payment from the package. We are also working of making teapac GST complaint from April 2017 when GST will be introduced on tea sales.

As a demo we have put up the payroll and mis modules on the web in the following link given below. The user ID and password to run the demo is also given. The sample data would be possibly April and May 2016.

Shortage of rainfall hits Barak tea industry

Correspondent
HAILAKANDI, March 10 – The tea industry of Barak Valley is facing serious problems due to the shortage of rainfall during the last few months. The owners of various tea gardensof the valley have expressed serious concern over this.

It can be mentioned here that three districts of Barak Valley have 104 tea gardens. In a statement, the assistant secretary of Tea Association of India (TAI), Saradindu Bhattacharjee said that the collection of tea leaves has stopped and it would curtail the production of tea in the current year.

The irrigation systems in the tea gardens have also become inactive due to the acute shortage of power supply. Due to the shortage of water the tea leaves are getting dried and the garden workers are yet to start the plucking of leaves, he said. He said that more than two lakh employees are totally dependent on the tea industry and if the drought-like situation continues then the future of this industry in Barak Valley would face a serious jolt. He further said that the process of spraying of insecticides has also been disrupted due to the shortage of rainfall.

On behalf of the management of all the tea gardens, TAI has appealed to the Government to come forward for the rehabilitation of tea industry on this critical juncture of drought-like situation.

We are happy to announce that we have created some very complex customised reports for a tea group having gardens in Assam.

One of the reports known as a Fortnightly Report collects data from all modules like Payroll, Field, Factory, Stores etc to create an 7 page MIS  report which was previously being prepared manually and is now generated from the Teapac system.

The second report which is a weekly leaf statement also takes information from various modules and collates the same together.

RDG will continue to strive to give the tea estates tailor made solutions meeting their exact requirements and to reduce their dependence on Excel!

The pdf of these two reports are attached.

Fortnightly Report

Seasonal Weekly Leaf Return

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

600 people reached the top of Mt. Everest in 2012. This blog got about 5,700 views in 2012. If every person who reached the top of Mt. Everest viewed this blog, it would have taken 10 years to get that many views.

• Option to use module by module as needed – not necessary to buy the full software

Interview with Mr Kamal Baheti CFO of Mcleod Russell to CNBC-TV18 .

Q: If you could tell us the immediate impact all of us has on prices of tea globally and the kind of impact it would have on average realizations for a company like McLeod Russel as well?

A: Till October last year, we had the record crop in India. At one point of time there was a talk of about crossing one billion kg of production and the shortfall in the month of November-December happened. Then we had an early winter, which affected the production. February-March-April got affected because of the drought.

So there was a five-six months of continuous crop loss and because of the shortfall in the inventories and further shortfalls in the production, the prices for the new season tea is opened at around Rs 25-30 higher and continues to be at that particular level.

We believe this production shortfall cannot be covered for the rest of the year and this price increase of Rs 25-30 will remain for the system for the full year. Internationally also there have been a loss of crop both in Kenya, Sri Lanka other places as well and the prices are higher by 15-20%. So believe around 15-20% increase in prices for the year is something which is likely. 

State small tea growers hopeful of better days
Staff Correspondent
DIBRUGARH, June 11 – The unorganized sector of tea industry is having the bitter taste of their teas as MGVK Bhanu, the Chairman of Tea Board of India has ordered todisconnect the electricity line to those factories which are averse to displaying theirprice offer for green leaf.

Similarly, he also ordered to cancel permit of those green leaf supply agents who will indulge in supplying low quality leaf or hop from factory to factory, bargaining for their leaf in violation of agreement. The newly appointed chairman is firm on putting the Tea Marketing Control Order (TMCO), the formula to determine price for green tea leavespayable to the growers, in place and this has made the small sector happy.

Co-founder of the All Assam Small Tea Growers’ Association Hemanta Gohain said that the small tea growers have found some solace in the words of chairman MGVK Bhanu. “However, if his words cannot be translated into action, the small tea growers will remain to be exploited by the tea factory owners,” Gohain said. He said that small tea growers in the State are hopeful that the new Tea Board chairman would redeem them from the exploitation of the powerful in the tea industry. 

In a recent presentation to the owner of a group of tea estates in Kolkata, I was suddenly asked “Will there be any savings in cost if I install Teapac?”

The question set me thinking and when I returned to my office I asked my team for some figures for rations in different gardens where Teapac is installed. The Census of the garden for workers and dependants is through the Teapac system and so I thought maybe I should check whether a correct census has made any difference to the ration quantities. The results of three gardens are given below:

Garden	Ration Quantity before Teapac per fortnight	Ration Quantity after Teapac per fortnight	Savings per fortnight	Savings per year (approx)	Approx value of Savings per year
Garden A: Crop 14 lac kgs;  Permanent Strength: 1200 workers	9,000 kgs	8,300 kgs	700 kgs	16,800  kgs	Rs 1,33,980/-
Garden B: Crop 7 lac kgs;  Permanent Strength: 650  workers	5000 kgs	4600 kgs	400 kgs	9600 kgs	Rs 76,560/-
Garden C: Crop 20 lac kgs; Permanent Strength: 2600   workers	30,000  kgs	28,800 kgs	1,200 kgs	28,800 kgs	Rs 2,11,392/-

Note: Rice @ Rs 8.61 per kg and Atta @ Rs 7.34 per kg.  Rice and Atta considered 1:1.

The table reveals that there are savings for all the gardens irrespective of size and number of workers. The maximum savings is for Garden C where Teapac will pay for itself in full within 17 months only on the savings in Rations alone! Other than Rations there will be additional savings in mandays, better control over stores and lower inventory stocking etc. Similar analysis of mandays before and after Teapac should throw up some interesting results as well!

So install Teapac and save money as well!
