A STUDY ON SMALLHOLDING TEA PRODUCTION IN YWAR NGAN TOWNSHIP THAE SU WIN This paper presents the smallholders of tea farmer in Ywar Ngan Township. In 2019, sample survey was selected in three villages in Ywar Ngan Township by using cluster sampling method. Multiple regression analysis was used to analyze factors affecting of tea production in Ywar Ngan Township. Three villages were collected by cluster sampling method from 125 villages of Ywar Ngan Township.
