Export value from coffee is projected to reach nearly $8 billion, the highest in the history of Vietnam’s coffee industry, according to a report by the Government News.

The 2024–2025 coffee crop year (from October 2024 to September 2025) is entering its final phase, marked by historic achievements.

Mr. Nguyen Nam Hai, Chairman of the Vietnam Coffee and Cocoa Association, stated that this crop year has seen the highest export coffee prices ever, with peaks reaching $5,850 per ton.

Europe remains Vietnam's largest export market, importing 670,000 tons with a turnover of $3.6 billion. The Americas account for approximately 4.7%, while Asia makes up around 20.7% of total exports.

According to Mr. Hai, despite increasing trade barriers and tariffs in export markets, posing challenges for the coffee industry, these obstacles have also created opportunities for businesses to be proactive and flexible in their production and business strategies, seizing every chance to boost exports.

Thanks to favorable selling prices, stable output, and growing international reputation, Vietnam’s coffee exports are expected to hit nearly $8 billion in the 2024–2025 coffee crop year, a record-breaking figure.

Mr. Trinh Duc Minh, Chairman of the Buon Ma Thuot Coffee Association, described this as "a brilliantly successful year" for the coffee sector. In just the first seven months of 2025, Vietnam exported approximately 1.1 million tons, earning nearly $6 billion—surpassing the total export value of all 2024 and marking a 65.1% increase year-on-year.

“Success comes not only from high prices, but also from efforts to improve quality,” Mr. Minh emphasized. “Developing specialty coffee, achieving sustainability certifications, and meeting international standards have elevated the status of Vietnamese coffee beans, helping avoid price suppression and creating long-term value.”

Mr. Le Duc Huy, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Simexco Daklak (2-9 Import Export Company), noted that the record-breaking export value was partly due to contracts signed late last year, when global coffee prices surged amid supply shortages.
