Vietnam's Tea Exports from 2019 to the Present: Trends, Drivers, and Challenges

Abstract

This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the trends, driving factors, and challenges associated with Vietnam's tea exports from 2019 to the present. Utilizing official trade statistics and relevant policy documents, the study examines the dynamics of export volume, export value, and market distribution across key trading partners. The findings indicate that although Vietnam's tea exports have demonstrated moderate growth, the industry continues to encounter significant obstacles such as intense international competition, fluctuating global prices, and rising technical trade barriers. In addition, the paper highlights the roles of government support, production expansion, and quality improvement in facilitating export performance. By offering data-driven insights and policy-oriented recommendations, this study serves as a valuable reference for policymakers, industry stakeholders, and researchers aiming to enhance the sustainability and global competitiveness of Vietnam's tea export sector.
