GLOBAL DUBAI TEA FORUM
TEA AT THE CROSSROADS:
TRADE, TARIFFS AND TECHNOLOGY IN AN AGE OF REALIGNMENT
2 - 3 November 2025
The Ritz-Carlton, Dubai, JBR
The Global Dubai Tea Forum 2025 will bring together leaders from across the tea value chain to address the structural pressures reshaping the global industry – and chart a path forward. This year’s edition is focused on action. Through a solutions-led agenda, the forum will explore key challenges facing the sector, including rising tariffs and geopolitical fragmentation, slowing consumer demand in an oversupplied market, and the mounting pressure on sustainable production driven by shrinking margins, an ageing workforce, and climate disruption. It will also examine how the industry can strengthen global trade routes through improved logistics, digital integration, and regulatory reform.
Attendees will hear from experts tackling these challenges directly, explore models that are working in real-world contexts, and consider how trade hubs, bonded zones, traceability systems, policy change, and storytelling can contribute to restoring long-term value to tea. At a time of rapid change, the Global Dubai Tea Forum 2025 provides a space for practical dialogue, collaboration, and reinvention – where the global tea industry gathers not only to understand disruption, but to lead through it.
The Global Dubai Tea Forum is the perfect platform for you to cement your status as a high-level player in the tea industry.
