The Vietnam Tea Association's objective is to export 117,000 tons of tea and earn US $167 million this year, up 13.6% against last year. It is also planning to export US$ 1 billion in 2020. Vietnam now ranks the 5th among tea producers and exporters in the world. About 6 million Vietnamese people are living in tea growing areas and having income from cultivating, processing and trading tea. Made-in-Vietnam tea has appeared in 110 countries and territories. Especially, the CheViet trademark has been registered and protected in 73 foreign markets. Despite the rising input costs and the global economic recession in the last four months of 2008, Vietnam's tea export volume hit 104,000 tons, earning US$ 147 million, up 12.4% compared to 2007. In addition to exhibiting at the World Tea Expo, the delegation will be visiting Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia and Washington DC to meet with US companies that are interested in importing tea.
