For the purchase price of fresh coffee beans from farmer groups, the company applies a floor price mechanism (the minimum price for a coffee-producing household in Huong Hoa district to ensure a basic standard of living), and then compares it with the market price to come up with a suitable, stable, long-term and mutually beneficial purchase price.
Specifically, when the market price is lower than the floor price (VND 10,500/kg), the company commits to purchasing at VND 12,500/kg throughout the crop year; when the market price is higher than the floor price (VND 10,500/kg), the company purchases at the market price plus VND 2,000/kg. The daily market price is the price converted based on the average price of green coffee beans in the Central Highlands provinces, published on the website of the Industry and Trade Newspaper.
