Abstract
The aim of the chapter is to study the position of Vietnamese tea producers, processors and traders in the Global Value CHain for tea and analyse the strategic options at various levels of the chain. The dominant governance at the Vietnamese level is found to be the market and this puts constraints on the possibilities for upgrading and for identifying a local driver of the chain. A few transnational companies dominate the global value chain for tea.
