Chinese tea exports, black and green tea, export trends, market competitionAbstract
This study offers an in-depth exploration of Chinese tea exports, with a particular emphasis on black and green tea, spanning from 2018 to 2024. By leveraging data from the General Administration of Customs of China and other reliable sources, it delves into trends in export volume, value, and price, while also examining market distribution. The research identifies key influencing factors and challenges confronting China's tea exports. The findings indicate that although China holds a significant position in the global tea market, it must grapple with issues such as fluctuating prices, intense competition, and evolving consumer preferences to maintain and enhance its competitiveness. This research contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of China's tea export landscape and provides valuable insights for industry stakeholders and policymakers.
