B. VIETNAM TEA OUTLOOK

1. Reorganize Vietnam tea industry by establishing a
   State Management Agency, tentatively called
   Coordinating Committee" to consistently and
   effectively manage the tea production industry.
2. Conduct planning of tea growing regions in order
   to improve productivity, quality and safety of
   fresh tea material. Set up new A team to
   control pesticide s use.
3. Rearrange, consolidate and reduce processing
   plants so that the processing plants must have
   the raw material areas and must strictly apply
   the good manufacturing practice (GMP) process.
   Announcing the list on the official website of
   the Association.
