In 2024, domestic enterprises exported nearly 1.35 million tonnes of coffee, generating a record-breaking 5.62 billion USD in revenue.

Vietnam is one of the world's largest coffee exporters, and its coffee exports have been growing in recent years. The country's rich volcanic soil and highland elevations are ideal for growing coffee.
