In 2023, the area of tea plantations at state farms in China stood at 28.83 thousand hectares. From 2024 to 2028, the area is forecasted to marginally decrease annually by approximately 0.07 to 0.10 percent. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates a slight contraction. This trend suggests a stable but gradually declining cultivation landscape.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential shifts in government policies affecting state farms.
Market demand for tea and its impact on plantation expansion or contraction.
Technological advancements or innovations in farming that may influence plantation areas.
