Economic Model of Inclusive Growth in Tea Industry

Big focus of the current year’s economic forum in Davos was discussion of inclusive model of economic growth that is conditioned by the trend of societal division into classes, the characteristic feature of the current century. Bases of the world population’s pyramid is less wealthy 4 billion people, whose annual income is up to 4000 dollars and out of which, one forth or 1 billion live below poverty line and can spend 2-9 dollars per day for food. Division of society into classes deepens the gap between rich and poor. The more wealth is concentrated in a small group of society the bigger is the danger of the world social confrontation. According to the American sociologist Immanuel Wallerstein, the world is facing crisis and nobody knows what will happen in 50 years, as the form of crisis revelation is fatal (deadly). In case of inactivity, the world will face critical dependence between small group of rich and mass of poor that is equal to catastrophe. These signs can already be observed in the world, on the examples of visually changed faces of the cities of Paris, London and others. The expected disaster can be avoided by using new technologies in the process of production development and implementing other measures at local level that have global resonance. These are major and expensive recommendations; however, if rich people want to live in peace, these recommendations should be implemented. The current situation in Georgia is clear to everyone, therefore, if any country needs introduction of economic model of inclusive growth that should be Georgia, where growth-based processes can be initiated through increasing government’s social responsibility – with the guarantee of maximum employment rate and income growth. One of the relevant crops is tea, the raw material of which can be fully processed. Rehabilitation of tea industry by the state in fact means introduction of economic model of inclusive growth in the conditions where after invasion of the brown marmorated stink bug and other pests the population’s interest towards nut production is decreased.
