Our Markets

DEXIA Tea Center

International gateway for the tea trade

The UK is one of the world’s largest re-exporter of tea with major share in the global market. Since the world’s major tea plantations were established in India and Sri Lanka in the early 1900s, Dubai has been a key international gateway for the trade. Its strategic location midway between the tea producing and consuming countries was a natural advantage. In 2013, the total volume of tea traded through London increased to 129 thousand tonnes (US$ 463 million), representing a jump of 34% on trade in 2012. As a tea trade facilitator, we continue to invest in the innovative infrastructure, business services and expertise to help you capitalise on the flow of tea passing through the region.
