Vietnam’s total tea exports for 2025 have reached US$28.32 million, reflecting a slowdown in demand from key markets.

Meanwhile, exports to China and Russia also saw declines, with China’s exports dropping by 29.35 percent. However, exports to Taiwan and Indonesia saw growth, with Taiwan’s exports increasing by 30.24 percent and Indonesia’s rising by 57.25 percent.
