To realise the target, the MARD advised processing firms to connect with tea growers and control the manufacturing process, while ensuring food safety and grasping technical barriers of importers.
The ministry will increase trade promotion activities and provide support for businesses to participate in domestic and international trade fairs.
In the first six months of 2017, Vietnam exported 63,000 tonnes of tea, raking in US$98 million, up 17% in volume and 15% in value year-on-year.
