Abstract:
Out of two main tea plantation sectors in Sri Lanka, large and small holding sectors, the
production of small holding sector is below its targeted level mainly due to inefficiency of
technology transfer system. Therefore, this study was an attempt to study the effectiveness of
the technology transfer system in tea small holding sector under the specific objectives such
as to measure the existing level of technical know-how, to find out the efficiency of different
sources of technology transfer, to evaluate the effectiveness of different modes used by
different sources to disseminate knowledge and to suggest recommendations to improve
technology transferring system in the tea small holding sector.
