Weak market demand coupled with stricter regulations remain the main barriers to the Vietnamese tea processing industry when it tries to gain a strong foothold in foreign markets.

According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD), tea exports in the first four months of this year reached 30,000 tonnes, worth 50 million USD, down 4.8% in volume and 5.8% in value compared to the same period last year.
