With more than 22,000 ha of tea, high production volume and a brand protected in multiple markets, Thai Nguyen has significant advantages in taking its tea products further into international markets.

Building on its achievements, the Association continued to affirm its role as the SME community's “common home” - a place where strengths are brought together, resources are shared and the spirit of “Self-reliance - Solidarity - Action - Innovation” is spread.

Beginning with a cup of tea, “Morning Tea with Entrepreneurs” is gradually becoming a distinctive dialogue forum in Thai Nguyen.

Through open dialogue, the government is better able to understand businesses’ needs, promptly address difficulties, and support their development. The tea table has thus become a bridge for building trust, strengthening connections, and opening opportunities for cooperation.
