Economic analysis of the change of tea production layout in China

Abstract

In the context of deepening supply-side reform in China, based on the national tea planting area and yield data from 1993 to 2018, combined with GIS technology and spatial center of gravity statistical models, this paper analyzes the characteristics of China's tea development and change in 25 years in detail, and comprehensively analyses the driving mechanism of the changes. The following conclusions are drawn: China's tea production space has changed significantly, and the country's tea planting area and output have been on the rise, but the changes are inconsistent; The continuous westward shift of the center of tea production in China is caused by the joint influence of nature, economy and society, among which resource endowment and policy support are the most important driving forces.
