What kind of crop is tea?

Tea belongs to the Camellia crop of the Theaceae family. It is a perennial evergreen woody plant. Wild tea leaves are found in the mountainous areas of provinces south of the Yangtze River. The leaves are in the shape of small trees and are relatively large. They are widely cultivated. Tea is also an important economic crop.

Tea Origin Distribution

Tea was originally distributed in China's southwest region, the Jiaodong Peninsula in Shandong Province, the southeastern region of the Tibet Autonomous Region, and Taiwan Province. Within this vast area, tea is grown in 18 provinces, and is widely distributed in China.

Tea production and economic benefits

The output of tea is very high. From the perspective of output value, as the output of tea continues to increase, the output value of tea in my country also continues to grow. The output value growth in Guangdong, Fujian, Guizhou, Sichuan and Yunnan is relatively prominent, ranking the top five in the country.

The economic benefits of tea are also very obvious. The annual investment per mu of tea planting is about 550 yuan, including management and fertilizer costs. After deducting the costs, you can earn at least 7,000 to 8,000 yuan. With exquisite packaging, you can easily earn more than 10,000 yuan, so the profit is still very considerable.
