Tea is also one of Yunnan's major export products. The province exported nearly 30,000 tons of tea in 2014, generating foreign exchange revenues up to $100 million. Some enterprises, such as Taetea Group and Lancang Ancient Tea, have set up branch offices in other countries as a result.

Wang Pinghua, vice head of the Provincial Agriculture Department, said that Yunnan plans to expand its tea planting area to 40 million hectares, which will be able to yield 350,000 tons.
