Tea (Green)

Global green tea production reached approximately 3.5 million MT in 2023, with China dominating 80% of output and consumption driven by Asia-Pacific and growing Western health-conscious markets. Price volatility reflects weather impacts in key regions, regulatory pesticide limits in EU/US, and shifting consumer preferences toward organic and specialty grades. Supply remains concentrated in East Asia with limited geographic diversification, creating vulnerability to climate and geopolitical disruption.
