According to the General Department of Customs, coffee export turnover in the first half of the year reached $2.3 billion, a 48.5 per cent increase year-on-year. However, as inflation has hit many countries around the world and international currencies have been weakened, coffee prices have fallen since the beginning of July, signaling that export turnover in the second half of the year will likely decline.
According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, thanks to replanting efforts, Vietnam’s coffee yield now stands at 2.8 tons per ha, or three times higher than the world average. The Ministry has set a target of the country replanting 75,000 ha and grafting 32,000 ha of coffee from now to 2025. Coffee productivity after replanting and grafting is expected to reach 3.5 tons per ha and boost incomes by 1.5 to 2-times compared to before replanting.
