According to the Vietnam Coffee and Cocoa Association (Vicofa), by the end of the 2024-2025 crop year (from October 2024 to September 2025), Vietnam's coffee export output will reach over 1.5 million tons, earning over 8.4 billion USD; up 1.8% in volume and 55.5% in value compared to the 2023-2024 crop year. This is also the coffee crop year with the highest export turnover ever.

Coffee export turnover in the 2024-2025 crop year will grow remarkably thanks to high coffee prices, averaging 5,610 USD/ton, up 52.7% over the previous crop year. In the first 9 months of 2025 alone, Vietnam will export about 1.25 million tons of coffee, with an export turnover of more than 7 billion USD, up 11.7% in volume and 62.2% in turnover over the same period in 2024.

Regarding the export market, according to the Vietnam Customs Department, in addition to the quantity in bonded warehouses, in the 2024-2025 coffee crop year, Germany took the lead with a purchase volume of 196,259 tons (accounting for 13%), Italy ranked second with 124,766 tons (8.3%), Spain ranked third with 110,224 tons (7.3%); followed by Japan, the United States, Algeria,...

Thus, Europe is still the largest market for coffee exported from Vietnam with a volume of over 710,000 tons (accounting for 47.2%), a turnover of over 4 billion USD (accounting for 46.7%).

The 2025-2026 crop year is forecast to increase output by about 10% thanks to favorable weather and high domestic prices (around 115,000 VND/kg), encouraging farmers to invest and replant new varieties with good yields.

Vicofa aims to develop a sustainable coffee supply chain, associated with emission reduction and carbon credits, while building a Vietnamese Robusta coffee brand and international quality standards for specialty products.

According to Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Environment Hoang Trung, Vietnam maintains its position as the world's second largest coffee exporter, accounting for nearly 20% of global supply, with an average yield of 3 tons/ha, three times higher than the world average. However, the industry still needs to overcome limitations in deep processing (only 15%), production linkages, and climate change adaptation.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Environment will support the standardization of traceability, emission reduction, processing expansion, and export market diversification, aiming at developing quality - sustainability - high added value for Vietnamese coffee.
