A Study of Singapore's Tea Trade with China

China is one of the largest exporters of tea, while Singapore is one of the largest importers of tea. In recent years, China has undertaken significant initiatives to open up to the global market, including signing a free trade agreement with Singapore in 2008. Apart from this, Singaporeans have a unique demand for tea. In Singapore, a national performing art known as "long tea" is highly popular, and both the young and old enjoy drinking tea while discussing business or relaxing. This thesis focuses on the current status of the tea trade between China and Singapore, providing an overview of China's tea industry, Singapore's tea market, and practices for promoting tea trade. The purpose of this thesis research is to give readers a deeper understanding of the tea trade patterns between China and Singapore, as well as to contribute to the enhancement of tea trade between the two countries. This thesis reviews the literature on the data of tea trade between China and New Zealand over the years, analyses it and presents the findings through a literature analysis method. This thesis finds that trade can be promoted through some methods, such as innovative tea products, the promotion of Chinese tea culture, and the appropriate reduction of the export price of tea.
