The growth of emerging economies has led to a significant expansion of domestic markets in the global South. Yet, the vast majority of studies examining contemporary patterns of trade and production continue to use a global value chain (GVC) lens, therefore obfuscating important spatial and temporal shifts occurring within domestic geographies of production in the early decades of the 21st century. This article explores how a rapid increase in domestic consumption in the case of Indian tea production has transformed the industry, and how institutional and regulatory actors have responded to these changes. Using a value chain framework to explore the key actors and processes shaping the political economy of domestic production, this article identifies three processes which have driven the creation of new trade and production structures within India's domestic tea market: a significant rise in the outsourcing and fragmentation of the production process; the expansion of smallholder-led production; and the introduction of private standards and governance programmes within the domestically oriented segment of production. These trends have important implications for the tea industry and shed light on how domestic markets in the global South are being transformed under 21st century geographies of trade and consumption.

从全球到本地茶叶市场：印度国内价值链中茶叶生产的政治经济变化

新兴经济体的增长导致全球南方国内市场的显着扩张。然而，绝大多数考察当代贸易和生产模式的研究继续使用全球价值链 (GVC) 镜头，因此混淆了 21 世纪最初几十年国内生产地理区域内发生的重要空间和时间变化。本文探讨了在印度茶叶生产的情况下，国内消费的快速增长如何改变了该行业，以及机构和监管机构如何应对这些变化。本文使用价值链框架来探索塑造国内生产政治经济的关键参与者和过程，确定了推动印度国内茶叶市场新贸易和生产结构创建的三个过程：外包和碎片化的显着增加生产过程；扩大小农主导的生产；以及在面向国内的生产部分引入私人标准和治理计划。这些趋势对茶产业具有重要意义，并揭示了全球南方的国内市场如何在 21 世纪的贸易和消费地理环境下发生转变。
