As an advanced form of productivity that is driven by innovation and typified by high technology, high efficiency and superior quality, the new quality productivity plays a vital and practical role in facilitating the high-quality development of Jiangxi’s tea industry. Based on the theoretical framework of new quality productivity, this paper deeply analyzes the connotation and significance of new quality productivity in tea industry. Combined with the actual situation of tea industry in Jiangxi Province, this paper discusses the problems faced by the high-quality development of tea industry in Jiangxi Province, and puts forward the specific practical path to promote the high-quality development of tea industry in Jiangxi Province. Although the tea industry in Jiangxi Province has maintained a steady growth in tea garden area and tea yield, the tea germplasm resources are relatively abundant, and the brand influence is gradually increasing, there are still small-scale industries and low output per unit area. The tea garden infrastructure is weak, and the processing capacity of tea products is insufficient ; the number of leading tea enterprises is not large, and there is a lack of ‘chain’ enterprises that can drive the efficient and coordinated development of upstream and downstream market players; the overall value of tea brand is not high, and the market competitiveness is weak. The number of agricultural science and technology personnel is insufficient, and the conversion rate of R&D investment and technological achievements is low. The excavation of tea culture and the external display are not enough. Therefore, it is proposed that the focus be on scientific and technological innovation and promote the transformation and upgrading of the tea industry. Besides this, it is also suggested to accelerate the provenance innovation, strengthen the development and utilization of tea germplasm resources, promote industrial integration and development of the tea industry, strengthen the brand building, enhance the competitiveness of Jiangxi tea market, build a tea industry talent highland, deepen the charm of ‘Ganpo’ tea and create a characteristic Jiangxi tea culture, increase the introduction of education, build a tea industry talent highland and other measures. The above measures can significantly improve the quality of Jiangxi tea, enhance market competitiveness, and enrich the connotation and development space of the tea industry. Jiangxi tea industry will achieve high-quality development under the guidance of new quality productivity.
