dc.description.abstractTea manufacturers produce different grades which fetch different prices at the auction. The average price received by the factory depends on the percentage of the different grades produced by the factory. A variation of the average prices of teas in Uva region has been occurring over past years and the price of the same grade also varies with time due to both controllable and non-controllable factors. It is important to analyze the fluctuation of the average prices that occurs due to the grades mix within the year. Production of the different factories varies in terms of total tea quantity, types of tea grades, percentage of tea produced from each grade .The average price of the same factory fluctuates with the time and the production in same factory also vary referring to the above factors with the time. Therefore this research was conducted to analyze the impact of the grades mix on average price of the graded tea and to make recommendations. Methodology The study was conducted separately for Uva High elevation and Uva Medium elevation. Secondary data were collected with the aid of structured questionnaire from twenty factories for each two elevations which were selected using random sampling technique. The relationship of average price with six independent variables such as total quantity, main grade percentage, number of main grades, number of off grades, season and elevation average was analyzed. The data obtained were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlations, simple linear regression, and multiple linear regressions using the following empirical model in the study.en_US
