The Lam Dong provincial Plant Protection Department said on July 15 that Taiwan consumes 95% of Oolong tea output produced in the province.
At a recent inspection, the Taiwanese side took 148 samples from 968 tonnes of tea made by 40 tea processing and production companies in Lam Dong to analyse pesticide residues. The results showed no excessive pesticide residues.
Earlier in late April, the Taiwanese management agency warned that tea imported from Vietnam has excessive pesticide residues and 22 batches of tea (around 80 tonnes) were returned to Vietnam.
