Abstract
Through fieldwork, analysis and planning of a model for a tea project, it has been found that the Phongsaly tea industry could be developed through co-operation with China’s Yunnan province. The authors’ tea industry model for Phongsaly province has been proposed to the authorities of Phongsaly and Yunnan as a co-operation project. Chinese investors have been invited to Phongsaly to set up tea businesses and to exchange agricultural technology.
