The growing of midland tea with small tea leaves - the variety that shapes the brand in the Tan Cuong tea area - has fallen significantly in recent years as low yields force farmers to shift to other varieties.

The city’s agricultural sector is joining hands with local farmers to plant at least 300 hectares of midland tea, to increase the growing area of the local variety to 30 percent from the current 10 percent.

Along with protecting the☂ local tea var🌌iety, the city’s agriculture sector is helping local farmers learn tea cultivation techniques that are organic and meet VietGAP standards as well as develop a value chain for local tea products./.
