Representatives from various countries, namely Bangladesh, Indonesia, India, Kenya, Malaysia, Malawi, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Uganda, and Vietnam, participated in the two-day conference on December 13-14, 2005, and the International Tea Day celebration on 15 December, in New Delhi. The conference tried to place the present crisis in the wider canvas of structural reorganization. This was supplemented by individual country experiences. Delegates from the participating countries made presentations, highlighting issues related to tea workers and small growers. The presentations were followed by discussions on specific country situations. Aspects such as the workload of labourers across the tea-growing countries, prevalence of child labour, code of conduct for tea estates and small growers, and uneven wage structure of the labourers among different countries were underscored by most of the participants in the discussion
