Aren't cuttings best option u get the best pedigree ?

Normally damage can be reduced if u have big trees planted in rows , they provide shade as well as reduce damage from heavy rainfall or hailstorm, Neem tree is best acts as insect / disease repellent as well provide shade / protection

Ur farm is on plain lands or hill side?

What the local going rate per 100kg in dollars

Collection is from the mills or u got to deliver it?

Contract basis or as per production ?

Tea leaves cannot be stored as they loose weight , u guys got community cold storage ?

Whens the plucking season in Kenya?

Actually seedlings are best. You know what you're getting. Our farms are all hillsides since tea likes good drainage. The average going rate ofc depends on the quality which in turn depends on farmer husbandry and plucking. Kenya tea dev authority trucks deliver the green tea to factories- shown here is Kagwe,my factory within the respective catchment areas all over our national growing zones,basically C Highlands, Mt Kenya region, Rift Valley and highlands west all within S Kenya.



Each factory dries,processes and delivers black tea to Mombasa auction.

Currently highest quality PF1 averages over 3$ a kg with the lowest P Dust around 2.70$.

Shouldn't this thing ideally be shaped charge especially given its small size?

China moving to full scale hypersonic missile production and US will spend about $10 billion per year on missile defense

The US Missile Defense Agency (MDA) has a request for $9.9 billion in 2019. Part of the request is $120 million to develop hypersonic missile defenses, a big increase from the $75 million in fiscal 2018.

“China’s hypersonic weapons development outpaces ours … we’re falling behind,” Adm. Harry Harris, who heads the military’s Pacific Command, warned lawmakers Wednesday.

China has developed — and last year tested — a new type of hypersonic missile called the DF-17. The U.S. Office of the Director of National Intelligence this week stated China “has tested a hypersonic glide vehicle.”

The budget appeal comes just months after Chinese state media reports it had successfully tested hypersonic warheads and was now moving on to full-scale production.

The US Missile Defence Agency has new plans to install 64 Ground-Based Interceptor facilities around the United States before 2023.

Russia too is believed to be developing its own hypersonic weapon called the Zircon. According to Russian news agency Tass, it is to go into serial production this year.

Though the Pentagon is warning about hypersonics, the United States has been developing the technology for years.

The U.S. Air Force says its X-51A Waverider cruise missile, tested in 2012, could travel at speeds faster than Mach 6 (5,800 kph).link https://www.nextbigfuture.com/2018/02/china-moving-to-full-scale-hypersonic-missile-production-and-us-will-spend-about-10-billion-per-year-on-missile-defense.html

Sir this is HGVs , not Hypersonic cruise missiles ,both are different . ICBM warheads have a speed of more than 20 machs . HGVs are kind of Maneuvering warheads .

China Reveals Images of New Hypersonic Strike Aircraft

China has disclosed the first images of secret hypersonic strike aircraft that are being developed to deliver nuclear warheads through U.S. missile defenses.

State-run CCTV on Oct. 8 broadcast images of four different vehicles or missiles that U.S. intelligence agencies believe are mockups of hypersonic strike novehicles, including one known as DF-ZF.

It is the first time images of the hypersonic aircraft were made public.

The Free Beacon first reported China's initial flight test of the hypersonic glider in January 2014. Since then, six other flight tests have been carried out in what U.S. intelligence officials believe is a high-priority weapons program for the Chinese.

China's Defense Ministry confirmed the first flight test nearly four years ago but sought to play down the arms development.

"Our planned scientific research tests conducted in our territory are normal," the ministry said in the statement. "These tests are not targeted at any country and at any specific goals."

U.S. officials have told Congress the initial use of the new hypersonic glider will be for delivering nuclear warheads through what China believes will be a future global U.S. missile defense shield directed against its missiles.

The most advanced hypersonic missile is the DF-ZF glider that is launched atop a ballistic missile and then glides to its target in near space. The glider is capable of maneuvering at speeds of between Mach 5 and Mach 10—3,836 miles per hour and 7,672 miles per hour, respectively.

Such high speeds require special materials and electronics capable of withstanding the high temperatures and pressures created by those velocities.

The Oct. 8 broadcast reported on China's development of a hypersonic wind tunnel that is used for testing the high-speed strike vehicles. The test system is located in Beijing and is known as the JF12 shock wave wind tunnel. A technician from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Jiang Zonglin, told CCTV the tunnel is comparable to an unspecified "renowned" U.S. wind tunnel.

Jiang said the JF12 "has reached the world's advanced level" and is capable of revealing many issues U.S. researchers have yet to discover about hypersonic flight.

According to Jiang, tests at the JF12 are conducted every two days and the facility will be operating at full capacity through the end of the year.

China expects to increase the speed of next generation hypersonic vehicles past the current Mach 5 limit, the report said.

The broadcast showed three hypersonic vehicles over various shapes, including a triangular-shaped glider, and one weapon that appeared similar in shape to the last stage of a ballistic missile.
The report also included images of the JF12 that stated the tunnel creates wind speeds of between Mach 5 and Mach 10 and uses a nozzle diameter of 8.2 feet. The test duration is 100 milliseconds.

The Pentagon's 2013 annual report on the Chinese military mentioned the JF12 wind tunnel as a development of the China Academy of Sciences' Institute of Mechanics.

The Institute announced in May 2012 that it began hypersonic testing of the super-large wind tunnel that China claimed is the largest in the world.

Air Force Gen. John Hyten, commander of the Strategic Command, said in July he is worried about the development of hypersonic missiles by China and Russia. The United States is also pursuing the weaponry, he said.

"Hypersonic technology is concerning to me, but it's really no more concerning to me than any cruise missile technology, any ballistic missile technology," Hyten said. "We have to be prepared to defend ourselves against all those threats. And we have to have a deterrent that is ready to respond in case any of those break out."

The National Air and Space Intelligence Center stated in a report made public last summer that hypersonic glide vehicles are a new class of weapons and an emerging threat. Hypersonic missiles "are maneuverable vehicles that travel at hypersonic (greater than Mach 5) speed and spend most of their flight at much lower altitudes than a typical ballistic missile," the report said. "The combination of high speed, maneuverability, and relatively low altitude makes them challenging targets for missile defense systems," the report added, noting they are currently being developed by Russia and China.

Congress last year passed legislation requiring the Pentagon's Missile Defense Agency to create a dedicated program aimed at countering hypersonic missile threats.

An Air Force-sponsored study warned last year that the United States is falling behind in the emerging hypersonic arms race.

"The People's Republic of China and the Russian Federation are already flight-testing high-speed maneuvering weapons that may endanger both forward-deployed U.S. forces and even the continental United States," the study said. "These weapons appear to operate in regimes of speed and altitude, with maneuverability that could frustrate existing missile defense constructs and weapon capabilities."

The growing threat of hypersonic arms is said by U.S. officials to be part of two major Pentagon studies that are nearing completion. One is the nuclear posture review that will include an examination of strategic threats to the United States posed by hypersonic nuclear delivery vehicles. A second is a review of strategic missile defenses that are being challenged by new hypersonic and other maneuvering missiles.

Rick Fisher, a China weapons expert with the International Assessment and Strategy Center, said the Chinese television broadcast confirms reports about the new high-technology weapons development."This CCTV show provides additional validation that China is developing hypersonic maneuverable reentry vehicles (MaRVs) that some PLA experts suggest in the future may also be launched from PLA navy ships to attack U.S. Navy ships."

"The delta shape may be a generic test model or it could indicate the shape of an early PLA MaRV warhead."

China's development of high-speed maneuvering warheads is a high threat because "this type of warhead is much more difficult to intercept with current U.S. missile defenses," Fisher said.

Three years ago, Lee Fuell, an intelligence analyst with the National Air and Space Intelligence Center, told Congress China's hypersonic glider appears designed for nuclear weapons.

"At this point, we think that's associated with their nuclear deterrent forces," Fuell said. "Of great concern would be if they were to apply the same technology and capability with a conventional warhead or even just without a warhead because of the kinetic energy that it has."

In addition to an unpowered glider, China also is developing a scramjet-powered hypersonic missile. A Chinese technical publication reported in May that a breakthrough was made in development of a ramjet engine for hypersonic missiles.

The CCTV broadcast on the hypersonic missiles was first reported by the online newsletter "The War Zone" on Tuesday. link http://freebeacon.com/national-security/china-reveals-images-new-hypersonic-strike-aircraft/

Sir this is just a wind tunnel model it take atleast 15 to 20 years to develop . This news looks like a propoganda .

Sir HGVs usually don't have Propulsion they use boost glide trajectory, but u can use Propulsion if needed (theoretically ).

Hyper Sonic Cruise missiles uses Scramjet plus solid rocket booster , other technologies are not matured yet . Materials are almost similar in Ballistic warhead and HGMs to withstand high temp of atmospheric re entry . HGMs has special design to produce lift after reentry , then it glides through air at Hypersonic speeds , it's difficult shoot down HGMs because their trajectory is unpredictable normal warheads travels in a Ballistic trajectory it's predictable so does easy to shoot down , we can intercept HGMs using CIWS , short and quick reaction SAMs .

won't a HGV need propulsion during its complex maneuvering trajectory as it tries to evade ABM,skimming few feet above ground and at terminal phase ascending again,while still sustaining an above Mach 5 speed and while extending its range !?in between its descent,low flight and ascend during it terminal phase the HGV,will definitely lose speed and still need to regain that speed so that it does lose its kinetic energy
