Managing Director’s Review of capital for such purposes in the immediate future. The process excellence and product purity of KVPL teas are now well established as reflected by the numerous accreditations received. The “Ethical Tea Brand of the World” continues to attract the attention of major tea buyers and we will persist with our endeavor to exploit this head start. It is also our intention to leverage the recently acquired capability to manufacture black tea, green tea and instant tea as market demands change. Strengthening of the upward integration with DPL manufacturing operations to the required extent will provide a steady outlet for rubber production. Augmenting “A Home for Every Plantation Worker” programme, though limited for the present by the adverse market conditions, will continue to be an integral part of our agenda. endured the test of time. We value these relationships beyond short term gains. We are conscious that DPL is what it is today because of the integrity and sincerity we have displayed in all our dealings. This behaviour is the outcome of a long period of mentoring that has instilled in our people, the conviction that there is no other way to success.
