Vietnam’s tea exports decreased by 4.23 percent in December compared to November, reaching US$21.73 million, according to data from Vietnam’s General Department of Customs.
Vietnam’s tea exports total US$256.41 million for 2024, reflecting a relatively stable export performance despite the month-on-month decline.
The decline in exports was driven by a significant decrease in shipments to other markets, which dropped by 43.15 percent, amounting to US$2.81 million. Exports to Pakistan and Indonesia also showed a decrease of 4.67 percent and 24.81 percent, respectively.
However, some markets showed positive growth. Exports to India, the USA, and Saudi Arabia increased by 173.23 percent, 83.02 percent, and 93.20 percent, respectively. Exports to China also saw a strong increase of 31.46 percent.
