According to the National Statistics Office of Vietnam (NSO), coffee exports in November increased by 39% year-on-year, reaching 88,000 tons. For the first 11 months of 2025, Vietnam exported 1.398 million tons, an increase of 14.8% – reflecting continued high consumer demand.

According to the NSO report, the coffee growing area in 2024 reached 732,000 hectares, of which 677,000 hectares were already in production. The Plant Protection Department (PPPD) predicts that the coffee growing area will remain at around 730,000 hectares in 2025 and may increase slightly to 731,000 hectares in 2026, indicating a stable expansion trend.

The Central Highlands region – the country's coffee production center – currently cultivates 676,500 hectares, with an expected output of approximately 1.9 million tons in 2025. However, replanting progress remains slow, with only 74,500 hectares replanted out of a planned 91,000 hectares, indicating the need to further accelerate this process.

The 2014-2025 Coffee Replanting Program aims to replace 200,000 hectares of aging plantations, equivalent to about one-third of the region’s total coffee area. This policy aims to help farmers improve productivity through preferential credit, applying new varieties and aiming at sustainable development for the Vietnamese coffee industry.

Supporting the recovery of production after storms and floods.

In Dak Lak, the "Guidance on Restoring Production After Storms and Floods" program is being implemented from December 3rd to 5th, focusing on supporting farmers in restoring pepper, coffee, durian, and other crops that suffered heavy damage.

In the communes of Son Thanh, Duc Binh, Ea Ba, Nam Ka, and Krong No, experts and technical staff directly guided the process of caring for and treating flooded areas and restoring fallen trees. They also coordinated with businesses to supply materials so that people could quickly overcome the damage.

The recent storms and floods caused serious damage to Dak Lak province, affecting over 63,000 hectares of annual crops and 19,000 hectares of perennial crops. Many key industrial crops such as coffee, pepper, and durian suffered severe damage, with total estimated losses of approximately 1,500 billion VND.

In response to this situation, local authorities are mobilizing all available resources, from technical expertise and seeds to supplies, to help farmers restore production. However, the reconstruction process is expected to be lengthy, and it will take more time for the farming areas to return to a stable state.
