Foods that are absolutely prohibited from using pesticides, chemical fertilizers, herbicides, synthetic pigments, hormones and other artificial substances in the production and processing process are considered organic foods. In our country’s tea market, tea is divided into green organic tea, green food tea, pollution-free tea and general conventional tea according to quality. Green organic tea is a pollution-free, purely natural tea, which is the representative of the highest quality in tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent years, with the deterioration of the global ecological environment and the improvement of living standards, people’s awareness of green consumption has been increasing, and the demand for organic food has continued to grow. To adapt to this consumption trend, global organic agriculture is taking off. Tea has always been considered a healthy drink due to its health, wellness, and medicinal value. Organic tea<\/a> emerged as the times require in the organic trend of global agricultural production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organic tea was first produced in Sri Lanka in 1983. Later, tea-producing countries such as India, Tanzania, Japan, Kenya, and China began production. In the autumn of 1989, organic tea was put on the British market for sale. It has been developed for nearly 30 years. Some tea gardens in China are in mountainous and mid-mountainous areas, far away from urban and industrial pollution, with superior ecological environment and inherent advantages in producing organic tea. The organic tea produced in China is mainly sold to the international market, and the structure of tea has a prominent contradiction with the consumption structure of the international market. How to open the international market is an urgent problem that needs to be solved for the current development of China’s organic tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overview of global organic food consumption demand<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After entering the 21st century, global consumption of organic food and beverages has been growing rapidly. Global organic food consumption is mainly concentrated in developed countries or regions such as Europe, North America, and Japan. In these regions, people’s acceptance of organic food is relatively high and the market demand is stronger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At present, the United States, Europe, and Japan occupy the vast majority of the world’s organic food market. The EU is the world’s largest organic food and beverage consumer market. Germany is the EU’s largest organic food consumer, accounting for 32% of the EU’s organic food market share. . Looking at a single country, the United States has the world’s largest organic food market, with consumption reaching 17.835 billion euros, followed by Germany and France, whose organic food sales reached 5.8 billion euros and 3 billion euros respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organic tea consumption in key organic food consumption markets<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, organic tea is mainly sold to Western Europe, the United States, Japan, etc. In European and American countries, organic food sales account for 5% to 10% of total food sales, while organic tea accounts for about 1%, indicating a very large market growth space. But these areas do not produce tea, which provides huge market opportunities for organic tea producing and exporting countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

European Union market<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The European Union is one of the earliest and fastest developing regions of organic agriculture. People have a relatively high degree of acceptance of the concept of organic agriculture, and the organic food market is developing extremely rapidly. However, these countries do not produce tea and must rely on imports, which provides huge market opportunities for the export of organic tea from tea-producing countries such as China. The European market has a large demand for tea. In 2006, the total tea consumption in the EU was 246,000 tons, of which organic tea consumption was about 10,000 tons. The UK is the largest tea consumer and importer. 77% of British people like to drink tea, and the average annual consumption is basically stable at more than 130,000 tons. Germany and France are also important tea consuming countries, with average annual consumption of 22,000 tons and 14,000 tons respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
