Vietnam’s tea exports in the first eight months of the year reached 90,000 tonnes, earning US$142 million, up 12% in volume and 11.8% in value compared to the same time last year, according to the Vietnam Tea Association.

Tea was sold at nearly US$1,570 per ton on average, down 1.5% from last year.
