With reference to Ceylon Tea

This country is known as Ceylon until 1972, the
island of Sri Lanka lies a mere 19 miles from the
southern coast of India. Blessed with ideal trade
winds and geographic diversity, the wet, tropical
climate is offset by mountains in the south rising to
altitudes of over 8,000 feet.

Today, Sri Lanka is the world's fourth largest tea producer and its famous leaves (still
called "Ceylon") are cherished for their taste and consistent quality. Sri Lanka is a
unique country of origin for tea cultivation, because the tropical climate allows for
continual, year-round harvesting. The island features striking microclimates ideal for
tea production. Tea in Sri Lanka is classified by elevation: low, medium or high
grown. Each is distinct, creating remarkable variety for a country which produces
almost exclusively black tea and green tea. Sri Lankan Tea industry maintains the
highest quality in the world market and ISO 3720 is the minimum standard applies for the
products. Sri Lanka has the capability to produce the cleanest tea in the world in terms of
minimum pesticide residues.

Feasibility Study: Economic in Japan

Japan has an industrialized global free market economy. A free market economy is a
competitive economic system in which businesses compete with each other for profit and the
prices of goods and services are based on supply and demand. Japan's economic system is
very similar to that of the United States. Also it is the third-largest in the world by nominal
GDP and the fourth-largest by purchasing power parity. Also it is the world's second
largest developed economy in the world. According to the International Monetary Fund.
Japan is a member of the G7. Due to an impulsive currency exchange rate, Japan's GDP as
measured in dollars fluctuates widely. Japan is estimated to have a GDP per capita of around
$38,490.Japan is the world's third largest automobile manufacturing country and largest
electronics goods industry in the world. It is often ranked among the world's most unique
innovative country leading several measures of global patent filings to face the increasing
competition

2.1.1. Marketing research in Japan
Japan has a highly developed tea culture, which makes it a desirable location for tea export. 4
Yearly tea consumption 118000 tons 5 Yearly tea consumption per person 2.5 liters The
Japanese agricultural sector accounts for about 1.4% of the total country's GDP. Only 12% of
Japan's land is suitable for cultivation. Japan has a developed tea ceremony as well. Japanese
people are very interested in the leaf tea, because of its high vitamin and mineral content.
People in this country highly concern about their healthy for a long life. After the war of 40
th century they extremely bother relating to nations safety. That is why they are very scare of
import food. Tea is absolutely healthy and safety 100 present natural drink. Who the hardest
workers are for go up as a nation in this world they only Japanese. So they used to drink Tea
very often especially green tea for refresh without have a break for continuously work.(
http://www.fenetre.co.jp/services/fdi-jv-and-ma) https://www.imf.org/external/pubs
More over Japanese are working minimum 12 hours per day their self without forcing. Green tea
is their favorite drink since very before. Unlike black tea which is fully fermented, green tea is
unfermented and has a characteristic taste which is appreciated by the Japanese people. Some
years ago two estates embarked on green tea manufacture but the products were not up to the
4

specifications required by the Japanese markets and manufacture of Japanese green tea appears
to have been abandoned because the prices offered for green tea were much lower than for black
tea. These setbacks it appears worthwhile to pursue the Japanese green tea market in the future
by manufacturing green tea which would appeal to the Japanese consumers. In the manufacture
of green tea two methods are employed to stop or arrest fermentation. In the Japanese method the

agencies to formulate and execute a wide range of economic, industry and trade policies, which
are aimed at promoting Japans international trade and investment, while fostering a conducive
business environment for sustaining Japan's economic growth.
METIs Trade Policy Bureau consists of divisions grouped by both geographical area as well as
function, and is the bureau with primary responsibility of administering Japans participation in
multilateral institutions as well as bilateral trade relations with all of Japans trading partners.

Import Licensing

Most goods do not require an import license and can be imported freely. Japanese import licenses
are required for certain goods, including hazardous materials, animals, plants, perishables, and in
some cases articles of high value.
Import Ban and Restrictions
Some imported goods may have a negative effect on Japan industry, economy, and hygiene, or
on public safety and morals. Such goods fall under "import restrictions" as provided by various
domestic laws and regulations. Import permit or prior approval for these goods is required for
inspection or other requisites.

3. Potential Market

3.1 Possibilities for entry into market

1. Japanese have a highly developed tea culture,
Green tea has been closely associated with Japanese people for such a long time that it is now
known as "Japanese tea." Green tea is more than just a drink. It is a custom that is woven into the
fabric of Japanese life. The history of tea in Japan has its earliest known references in a text
written by a Buddhist monk in the 9th century. Tea became a drink of the religious classes
in Japan when Japanese priests and envoys sent to China to learn about its culture brought tea to
Japan. The first form of tea brought from China was probably brick tea (Ancient recordings
indicate the first batch of tea seeds were brought by a priest named Saicho in 805 and then by
another named Kukai in 806. It became a drink of the royal classes when Emperor Saga,
the Japanese emperor, encouraged the growth of tea plants. Seeds were imported from China,
and cultivation in Japan. But now their cultivation of tea is so much insufficient for their
privation for tea. So they had to open the market for overseas investors.
2. Japanese life with Green Tea
Containing five times as much Vitamin C as a lemon, green tea is said to boost the blood vessels
and circulatory system and stave off germs. It is this Vitamin C that is the main reason that green
tea has long been thought of in Japan as an effective means of fighting off colds.
Catechin is what gives green tea its bitterness and astringency, and it can be extracted
most effectively when brewing the tealeaves with boiling water heated to 90C for a short time.
A powerful anti-oxidant, catching is said to keep cells from aging and help prevent high blood
pressure and diabetes. Catechin has been introduced as an ingredient in many food products and
supplements and has also been a hit in many products marketed for antibacterial or odor-resistant
properties such as towels, underwear and gum to prevent bad breath.
Green tea extract is now a popular fragrance in aromatherapy, as well. Used in products such as
eau de parfum or incenses, its fresh, clean, sweet scent is entirely different from any fragrance
previously known, providing an exquisitely Japanese aromatic sense.
With its special properties for keeping people healthy and keeping cells from aging, green tea has
become a dependable, therapeutic part of life in Japan. Green tea, indeed, is one key to the

Japan.

(ml.jou.ufl.edu/projects/Spring01/Newsome/culture.html)
On the other hand the Japanese tea ceremony is called Chanoyu, Sado or simply Ocha in
Japanese. It is a choreographic ritual of preparing and serving green tea, called Matcha, together
with traditional Japanese sweets to balance with the bitter taste of the tea.
(ml.jou.ufl.edu/projects/Spring01/Newsome/culture.html)http://www.hibikian.com/contents.php/cnID/3https://www.tofugu.com/japan/tea-in-japan/

Domestic Tea Market is less

The Japanese agricultural sector accounts for about 1.4% of the total country's GDP. Only 12%
of Japan's land is suitable for cultivation. But its yearly tea consumption is 118000 tons.
appropriately the tea consumption per person more than 2.5 liters per year . That it why it is an
attractive location for tea export. Japan tea crop production is absolutely not enough for their
entire consumption. Highest degree of income and location for industrializations only. Steep land
(more than 20) has been terraced for rice and other crops, carrying cultivation in tiny patches far
up mountainsides. With the aid of a temperate climate, adequate rainfall, soil fertility built up and
maintained over centuries, and such a large farm population that the average farm has an area of
only 1.2 ha (3 acres), Japan has been able to develop intensive cultivation. Agriculture exists in
every part of Japan, but is especially important on the northern island of Hokkaido, which
accounts for 10% of national production. But according to product Tea , the geographic and
weather is very important. for the tea plant can handle a light ice and even snow, but not heavy
freezes or expanded cold winters, and, unlike some plants, it does not require a period of cold
dormancy. It can in consequence grow from subtropical climates to tropical climates, but
generally requires a fair amount of moisture and rainfall during the growing season. Although it
can grow in hot tropical climates if they are sufficiently sticky, the highest-quality teas mostly
come from subtropical climates with some seasonality. In Japan during the summer warmth
comes to up 40 degree plus. In the winter it comes till 20 degree minus. Accordingly such a
climate situation tea grow is impossible. Japan is the second-largest agricultural product importer
in the world (after the US), with total agricultural product imports of $34.6 billion in 2001. At

Key Issues 02
Marketing penetration for 2017

4.1

SWOT Analysis

STRENGTHS OF JAPAN for 2017

Japanese society (Zen) is self-sacrifice and they are continuously improve. The
Japanese always attempt for excellence and they try to show improvement in the
areas where they are lacking. Japan is the technology capital of the world. They have
all the new innovations before anyone else does. Therefore 100 present can make
sure their purchasing power never will be ended. Economy is very strong right now
in Japan. Basically the Japanese are how much they develop in economically or
whatever but they never change their culture or customs. Ii is a strong point for
anticipate the demand for tea. Because of Japanese tea culture is their unique culture
10

since history. Such a strong culture will be never revolutionized. That is why the
market for tea in Japan ever potential including 2017.
WEAKNESS OF JAPAN for 2017
Non-verbal communication practices. Particularly English spoken of the Japanese is
really weak according to barriers of their mother tongue. On the other hand they are
most of polite people. At the customer service if happens anything by mistake these
customers may possibly get it as a wrong idea due culture misunderstanding
.Japanese customer might be suppose it as an irrespective or ignore them. Another
weak is Quick les of Japanese. This culture tends to be relaxed and based on
relationship building. Because they afraid of trust the outside people. It takes long
time to create a loyal customer. Other cultures are very quick with everything
including communication. That is many companies fear doing business with Japanese
companies because sometimes it creates more work than is necessary with other
countries and cultures.
2. OPPORTUNITIES for 2017
World's Second Largest National Market . Some individuals return to Japan with
new insights to their own culture. According to their lifestyle Japaneses peoples life
is extremely busy in their day today life. The opportunity is high for the fast online
tea service as well. And also the world Olympic Games are due to be held in Japan in
2020 after 22 years later. Generally For every Olympic Games as a specific matter
Japan does create something unique. At the moment they are involving to construct
the relevant resources to hold this game. As this way it is increasing the demand for
tea because of their hard working.
THREATS OF JAPAN for 2017
Globalization - since Japan is an island they tend to be far away from everyone else.
This has created problems who is trying to go global. They provide Small amount of
foreign investment . Because Japanese feel they have great products within the
11

country and do not always support foreign investment opportunities. Therefore they
could be stop or else change their trade policies for investors at anytime. This
practice has deterred some companies from trying to enter the Japanese market or
from trying to create joint ventures with Japanese companies. Also Japanese very
scare of overseas food and beverage. An extra particular matter is natural disasters in
Japan. It can be occur anytime anywhere. According to their trade policies that if
Japan doesnt provide any reasonable insurance for foreign investment it can be a big
risk.

Consumer behavioral further more

Key characteristics of Japanese consumers have never been totally comfortable with the
product by eye-catching consumption the way other newly rich populations often are.
Japanese are willing to pay a premium price for those extra cost as they value more
product quality and view information such as brand, service, packaging and advertising
as important variable in assessing quality and making decisions
There seem to be a clear trend to value product handing over values such as ethic, charity
and green product. According to Japanese social demographics and psychographics
Japanese consumer behavior, it should not forget about three main characteristics of
Japanese consumers are brand loyal and also adjusting down. Means consumers are very
careful in buying and do spend more in checking prices (even abroad), comparing and
seeking advice. Value for money. They hope multiply sales channels: because of
conveniences.
As many other developed country, japans is an aging population, but it is aging much
faster than any other countries, due to one of the longest life expectancy and one of the
lowest birth rate.

Ceylon White Tea Process
Making such a unique tea requires care and dedication and while white tea requires minimal
processing, this does not mean it is any easier than making other types of tea. This tea is grown
in high altitudes ranging from 2200m to 2500m and it is harvested just once a year by hand. No
machines are used so that the silvery tea buds remain intact. Then it is rolled by hand to create
the slightly curved thin silver buds that are left to wither in the sun. The final step in the process
is to dry the tea buds preventing any oxidation from taking place and keeping this tea as natural
possible.http://www.historyofceylontea.com/Articles/view/122

Quality Position

To qualify for the special, legal distinction denoted by the words Ceylon Tea, and for the
famous Lion logo that goes with it, the tea must not only be grown and manufactured entirely in
Sri Lanka; it must also conform to strict quality standards laid down and administered by the Sri
Lanka Tea Board. It cannot, moreover, be mixed or blended with tea from any other part of the
world. Even a blend that is 95% Sri Lankan cannot be described as Ceylon Tea.
Tea bearing the Lion Logo must also be packed in Sri Lanka. Overseas importers and distributors
cannot use the logo on their packaging, though if the contents are 100% Sri Lankan, the name
Ceylon Tea may still legally be used. These strictures are needed to help consumers distinguish
real Ceylon Tea from the thousands of products, including many with international brand names
that are available around the world, which contain tea of mixed, non-specific origin. The Ceylon
Tea Lion Logo, which is owned by Sri lanka, has been registered in more than 75 countries
around the world. The use of Lion Logo on tea brands packed in Sri Lanka is subject to
following conditions
1. The logo can be used only on consumer packs, which contain 100% Pure Ceylon Tea.
2. The brands should be packed in Sri Lanka
3. The brands, which use the Lion Logo, should conform to the quality standards set out by
Sri Lanka Tea Board.
