With strong growth momentum, the coffee industry is expected to surpass the 8 billion USD mark for the whole year, affirming Vietnam's position in the international market.

In the first 10 months of the year, Robusta coffee continued to be the main export product with nearly 1.08 million tons, worth 5.54 billion USD. Compared to the same period in 2024, the export value increased by 60.5%, reflecting the great advantage of high selling prices. Arabica coffee also achieved impressive growth, increasing by 108.4% in value.

Notably, the processed coffee group has become a new growth driver with turnover reaching 1.46 billion USD, a sharp increase of 58% over the same period in 2024. This result shows that the strategy of developing deep in the value chain is bringing clear results, helping the industry gradually reduce its dependence on raw exports.
