Pakistan is ready to work with the Vietnamese tea sector
Hanoi (VNA) – Pakistan is ready to work with the Vietnamese tea sector, said
the President of Pakistani Tea Association Muhammad Hamif Janoo.
At the International Tea Conference in Hanoi on July 30 th , Muhammad Hamif Janoo
said that Vietnamese tea has been imported by Pakistan from 1999 and is popular
with local people for its quality and affordable price.
He said that Vietnam should build a centre for tea auctions to encourage farmers
to raise the quality of their tea and create a healthy business environment and
increase competition.
Also addressing the conference, the President of the Vietnamese Tea Association Doan
Anh Tuan, said that Vietnam is one of the worlds major tea producers and the
country is ranked fifth in terms of tea output and exports.
Vietnam produced 130,000 tonnes in 2009, from only 55,700 tonnes in 2000. In the
first seven months of this year, the nation exported 65,000 tonnes of tea, earning
91 million USD, a year-on-year increase of 6 percent.
However, Vietnam ’s tea exports to Pakistan dropped this year with a volume
equal to only 60 percent of the level in the same period last year and this resulted
in Pakistan dropping to the second place in the list of the 70 countries that
import Vietnamese tea.
According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, the country has
almost 130,000 ha of tea, mostly in the northern midland provinces, producing an
average of 6.5 tonnes per ha.
Previously, Vietnam had produced black tea for export and green tea for domestic
use and now the country has various kinds of tea products which meet diverse global
demands.
The tea industry generates jobs for more than 6 million people in 34 provinces in
the country and has made a remarkable contribution to socio-economic stability. It
is also expected to be a lucrative crop for farmers in the future.
In order to develop the tea industry sustainably, Le Xuan, the head of the
department for agro-forestry and salt processing, said that it is necessary to
monitor the tea acreage, improve technical management and the quality of tea
products.-Enditem
