Beijing - Fana News
China, the largest tea producer in the world, produced over 2.4 million tonnes of tea in 2016, 40 percent of all the tea grown in the world, Minister of Agriculture Han Changfu said late Friday.
Last year, 2.87 million hectares of land in China was used to grow tea, more than anywhere else in the world, Han said at the opening ceremony of the First China International Tea Expo in Hangzhou, capital of Zhejiang Province.
China is also the world’s largest tea market with over 2 million tonnes consumed in 2016, which is equal to the population of China consuming 1.5 kg of tea each. Figures show over 2 billion people drink tea across the world. The over 60 countries and regions that grow tea produced 6 million tonnes of the leaves last year.
The expo, from May 18 to 21, is organized by the ministry and Zhejiang Government.

Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris.
