Abstract This research work explores the operational development with reference the types of forecasting useful to the Small Tea Growers in Nilgiris district. The present study revealed that the forecasting on the irregular variations due to unforeseen events was the most useful forecasting and forecasting of trends or long terms movements in production was the least useful to the small tea growers. Consequently, multiple regression analysis was employed to investigate the factors that are significant to the types of forecasting useful to Small Tea Growers and found that all the four independent factors considered for the analysis were significant. The regression output: (R2 = .975, F (4, 989) =9843.023, P<0.000).

Key words: Small ea growers, Nilgiris, types of forecast useful.
