中国茶的斯里兰卡机遇——不同茶叶市场间的彼此促进关系
在刚刚过去的“一带一路”国际茶叶高端对话暨咸阳茯茶产业高峰论坛上，斯里兰卡驻华大使馆商务处副专员萨帕斯·帕瑞拉介绍了自己对中斯两国间茶叶贸易交流的看法。
“More than 70% of Sri Lanka’s tea is exported to all parts of the world every year. In 2018, the output value of tea exports reached about 1.25 billion yuan, a large part of which was exported to China. Although Chinese tea enjoys a high reputation in Sri Lanka, the general public prefers Ceylon tea.” Guests from Sri Lanka introduced the basic situation of the tea market in Sri Lanka.
斯里兰卡是世界主要红茶生产国，同时也是茶叶出口大国。根据国际茶叶委员会统计数据显示，2018 年，斯里兰卡出口茶叶27.2 万吨，主要出口亚洲国家和俄罗斯。
Sri Lanka is the world’s leading producer of black tea, but also a major exporter of tea. According to the statistics of the International Tea Commission, in 2018, Sri Lanka exported 272,000 tons of tea, mainly to Asian countries and Russia.
斯里兰卡对外出口茶叶，也从中国和印度进口茶叶，2018年，从中国进口了约300万公斤茶叶。
Sri Lanka exports tea and imports tea from China and India. In 2018, about 3 million kilograms of tea were imported from China.
斯里兰卡嘉宾强调：“流通是双向的。茶叶市场并不是单一的，有红茶市场的地方，绿茶也有市场；在有绿茶市场的地方，红茶也有市场，不同茶叶的市场之间是彼此促进的关系。”
Sri Lankan guests stressed: “Circulation is two-way. Tea market is not single, there is black tea market, green tea also has a market; there is a green tea market, black tea also has a market, different tea markets are mutually reinforcing relationship.

Sri Lanka was one of the first countries in South Asia to support the co-construction of the 21st century Maritime Silk Road. The joint development of “The Belt and Road” initiative has provided opportunities for Sri Lanka to develop, and tea trade cooperation has renewed its vitality.
