From January to May 2020, Turkey experienced a 47.5% increase in tea exports, generating $6.38 million from 1639 tons of tea sold to 87 countries, compared to the same period last year. Belgium, Germany, and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus were the top importers. This surge in export value is attributed to a revival in export orders and increased consumption, with expectations for further growth in tea exports as market demand for Turkish tea's quality continues to rise. The quality of this year's tea collection is also reportedly high, ensuring a strong foundation for future exports.
