宜宾共识

中国宜宾,2019年3月

 

2019国际(宜宾)茶业年会于3月18—20日在中国四川宜宾召开。年会在中国食品土畜进出口商会与联合国粮农组织政府间茶叶工作组、国际茶叶委员会及中国茶叶学会共同举办。来自31个国家和地区的国内外茶叶行业组织负责人、茶叶专家、学者、知名茶叶企业、产茶区地方政府等390余名代表参会。此次年会,我们在宜宾共同谱写“长江首城,茶和世界”的新篇章。通过研讨,年会形成了以茶叶所具有的文化属性和养生功能为基石,以文化交融为纽带,以科技创新为引领,,共同推动全球茶叶经济和消费进一步发展繁荣的局面。

 

本届年会回顾了2018年全球茶叶生产、贸易与消费的情况及发展趋势。尽管全球茶业仍面对产能过剩,品质与价格不成正比,生产者利益得不到有效保障等诸多挑战,但同时也具备了产品创新,产业链延伸,以及广阔的待开发消费群体与新兴消费市场所带来的大好机遇。我们坚信,全球茶业的未来发展前景稳中向好,潜力巨大。

 

我们一致认为,科技创新是茶叶行业未来发展的风向标。科技创新是解决行业发展瓶颈,提质增效,提高茶产品附加值,创造新的卖点和受众群,进而使全产业链受益的创赢点。始终关注和强调科技创新的战略重要性,共同为茶叶消费促进,饮品行业市场份额递增和新市场开拓等贡献力量,共赢共进,是全球茶人的共同责任。

 

本届年会见证了“国际茶叶小生产者联盟第一次会议”与“中国·东盟茶业合作峰会第一次筹委会议”的成功举行。国际茶叶小生产者联盟由生产国与消费国共同发起成立,致力于保障茶叶小生产者在供应链中的参与度和利益。该联盟第一届总部将落户中国宜宾。东盟茶业协会由东盟六国茶叶行业发起并成立,会后将寻求诸边茶业合作,适时举办“中国·东盟茶业合作峰会”。事实证明,国际茶叶行业正在不断走向资源共享、平台互通与融合发展。

 

我们衷心感谢现有的国际茶叶组织很好地履行了自己的责任,并在各自的专业领域发挥着极为重要的作用。为团结国际茶叶行业各个环节,着眼茶叶贸易促进、科技发展、品牌与文化推广、市场拓展、消费提升、国际合作与法律咨询等工作,我们认为,有必要发起成立国际茶业合作组织(英文名International Tea Cooperation Organization,简称:T20+),致力于推动富有成效的工作。

 

我们已经在中国宜宾见证了三届国际(宜宾)茶业年会。三年来,宜宾市人民政府为年会的付出有目共睹。我们将要发起成立国际茶业合作组织(T20+),并且,该组织将落户宜宾,以感谢宜宾政府和人民对茶产业坚定不移的支持。

 

我们一致同意,成立国际茶业合作组织,并通过组织章程(详见附件)。该组织秘书处设在中国宜宾。

 

今后,我们将比任何时刻都要团结一心,为了国际茶叶行业这个大家庭的共同利益,更加紧密地联合在一起,让茶叶大家庭更加蓬勃发展,也让茶叶这片小小的叶子为更多的人珍视和喜爱。

This year, we celebrate the theme of Tea brings the World together, at the First City on the Yangtze. At the conference, we unite all segments of the industry, to strive for the prosperity of the world tea economy, with the cultural attribute and health functions of tea as the foundation, cultural exchange as a media, and technological innovation as a leading force.

 

In this years conference, we reviewed the world tea production, trade and consumption, and its trends. Although the world tea industry is still faced with multiple challenges, like excess capacity, imbalance of quality and price, insufficient guarantee of the benefits to producers, etc., it owns opportunities brought about by new products innovation, extension of value chain, and target consumer groups and new markets. We believe that the world tea industry foresees a steady and promising future, with great potential.

 

We agree that technological innovation is a guideline for the future development of the industry. It is the key to tackling the obstacles faced in the development of the industry, and to help improve production quality and efficiency, increase added value of tea products, and create new selling points and customer groups, which will benefit the whole value chain. To emphasize the strategic significance of technological innovations, and work jointly to promote tea consumption, increase the market share of tea , explore new markets and to move forward hand in hand are the shared responsibilities of the global tea family.

After the meeting, the ATO will seek opportunities for multilateral tea industrial cooperation, and organize China-ASEAN Tea Industry Cooperation Summit when ready.
