2020 Vietnamese tea export volume increases, but the value decreased compared to 2019

According to the Department of Agricultural Product Processing and Market Development, Vietnamese tea export volume in July 2020 was estimated at 12,000 tons with a value of 19 million USD, bringing the total volume and value of tea exports in the first seven-month of 2020 to 70,000 tons and 110 million USD. This result shows an increase of 1.3% in volume and a decrease of 8.7% in value over the same period in 2019. Besides that, while Pakistan and Taiwan are two markets that account for 44.7% of Vietnam's tea export market share, in the first seven-month of this year, the amount of tea exported to these two markets decreased both in volume and value due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
