Abstract

본고는 케냐 차 산업에서 케냐차개발청( KTDA)의 역할과 위상에 대해 고찰하였다. 본 연구에서 케냐 차 산업과 관련된 몇 가지 특징을 찾을 수 있었다. 첫째, 동아프리카에서 주요 차 생산국들은 유럽 지배 아래에 있었고, 그중 케냐의 케냐차개발청은 괄목할만한 성장을 하였다. 동아프리카차무역협회( EATTA)는 1957년 형성되었으며 케냐, 말라위, 우간다, 탄자니아, 르완다 등이 회원국이다. 동아프리카차무역협회는 세계 주요 경매 중 하나인 몸바사 경매를 책임지고 있다. 둘째, 소농들을 위해 케테파 등을 포함한 자회사를 두고 있는 케냐차개발청은 소농들이 소유하고 있다. 셋째, 케냐타는 케냐 독립 이후 토착민을 위해 ‘아프리카화’ 정책을 시행하였다. 차 산업에서 케냐차개발공사를 설립함으로써 유럽정착민들로부터 케냐 차 산업을 지킬 수 있었다. 무엇보다도 케냐차개발청은 국제금융공사로부터 앞으로 추구해야할 기업 경영 모델인 인클루시브 비즈니스 모델로 선정되었다. 케냐차개발청은 차 산업에서뿐만 아니라 모든 영역의 산업에서 기업 경영의 모델이 될 것이다.This study investigated the role and the position of the KTDA (Kenya Tea Development Agency Holdings Ltd.) for the Kenyan tea industry. This study identifies some characteristics that are related to the tea industry in Kenya. First, most of the tea-producing countries in East Africa were formally ruled by Europe, and the KTDA has made wonderful progress and growth in East Africa. EATTA (East African Tea Trade Association) was formed in 1957, and the members of EATTA are Kenya, Malawi, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, etc. Moreover, the EATTA is responsible for the Mombasa auction, which is one of the most significant auctions in the world. Second, the KTDA is owned by small-scale tea farmers and the KTDA owns a number of subsidiaries including the KETEPA (Kenya Tea Packers Ltd.) for farmers. Third, Kenyatta enforced an ‘Africanization’ policy for natives after the independence of Kenya. As a result, Kenya established the KTDA (Kenya Tea Development Authority) for the tea industry and Kenya kept the tea industry from being taken over European settlers. First of all, the position of the KTDA was elevated when it was selected as an inclusive business model by IFC (International Finance Corporation). The inclusive business model shows the value which the business management of the future will pursue. The KTDA will prove to be an exemplary business model for the Kenyan tea industry as well as for other areas all over the world.
