The family of Mr. Pham Xuan Hung, in Luong Son village, Dak Sak commune, has 2 hectares of coffee plantations that are entering the harvest season, with them carefully selecting early-ripening coffee beans. Mr. Hung said that this year's coffee harvest is relatively favorable, with beautiful weather, and the current prices for both fresh and dried coffee beans are quite high at the beginning of the season, making him very happy. Accordingly, the price of dried coffee beans is currently 116 million VND per ton. At this price, he expects to harvest about 8 tons of beans from his 2 hectares of coffee, earning hundreds of millions of VND in profit.
According to the People's Committee of Dak Sak commune, the commune has the largest coffee growing area among all crops in the commune, with over 7,000 hectares. Currently, farmers have entered the harvest season with a fairly enthusiastic atmosphere thanks to the high and uniform coffee yield, and the relatively high and stable coffee price. The locality is currently implementing many solutions to ensure the coffee harvest season proceeds safely and smoothly, especially in terms of security and order. Functional departments, associations, and organizations in the commune are promoting widespread dissemination of information to each member and farmer on proper harvesting methods to improve the quality of agricultural products, increase their value, and raise selling prices.
Truong Xuan commune is also one of the localities with a large coffee growing area, approximately over 5,000 hectares. According to many residents, the coffee in the commune has begun to ripen, however, the ripe amount accounts for only a small percentage, so most farmers are only picking selectively. Some gardens with a high percentage of ripe fruit have already started harvesting. Mr. Nguyen Van Phu, from Pang Sim hamlet, Truong Xuan commune, who owns nearly 1 hectare of coffee, said: “At the beginning of the season, it's very good news. The weather is quite favorable, the rainy season has ended, so farmers can pick and dry the coffee more easily, and the price is quite high and stable.” Mr. Phu emphasized that a price of over 100 million VND/ton for dried coffee beans allows coffee farmers to make a stable living. He hopes to maintain this price level during the peak season.
According to representatives of several agricultural product trading and purchasing agents in the western region of Lam Dong province, coffee prices this year are high and stable compared to the same period last year. Specifically, the price of dried coffee beans in the western region of the province is approximately 115 million VND/ton, and fresh coffee cherries are approximately 22 million VND/ton.
The province currently has over 323,200 hectares of coffee plantations, of which over 311,100 are in production. Currently, the majority of coffee plantations are still in the fruit-bearing stage; however, some areas (especially in the western region) have begun harvesting. Reporters observed that most farmers are enthusiastic and happy because coffee prices are relatively high and stable. The agriculture and environment sector, local authorities, and organizations are implementing various solutions to ensure a safe harvest, especially regarding security and theft prevention. Simultaneously, efforts are being made to widely promote techniques in harvesting, drying, and preservation to improve the quality of the province's coffee products.
