Vietnam's coffee industry is on the rise, with significant investments and strategic developments aimed at enhancing its global standing. The Trung Nguyen Legend coffee energy plant will soon break ground in Buon Ma Thuot, marking a pivotal moment for the company and the sector. This new facility will focus on processing and exporting roasted coffee, with an impressive capacity of over 30,000 tonnes of green coffee beans. The aim is to boost the value of Vietnamese coffee and attract international investors.
Key details include:
• The new plant represents an investment of over $80 million.
• Vietnam's coffee exports reached nearly $800 million in January alone.
• The country is the world's leading producer of robusta coffee, accounting for 40% of global production.
• Companies are increasingly focusing on quality and sustainability to meet market demands.
This evolution is crucial as it positions Vietnam not just as a raw coffee exporter but as a key player in the specialty coffee market. Enhancing domestic consumption and quality will benefit farmers and elevate the entire industry on the international stage.
