Consumption and Import

Contrary to coffee and cocoa, the affluent populations
of North America, Western Europe and Japan are not the
largest markets for tea. Over 50% of global tea exports
are destined to the Middle East, North Africa and the
former Soviet Union countries.

In its current state, sufficient supply and quality of tea
is not guaranteed for the sector. Several social,
economic, and environmental issues, combined with
the finite nature of natural resources and rapidly
growing populations, lie at the root of this situation.
