Coffee from the Central Highland province of Dak Lak has been exported to 60 countries and territories across the world, according to the local trade promotion, investment and tourism centre.

 Apart from traditional markets such as the US, Japan, Switzerland, Germany, Dak Lak’s coffee exports have spread to other markets in North Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.

 The province currently has over 180,000 hectares of coffee and the annual output is over 400,000 tonnes, comprising nearly 50 percent of the country’s coffee production. The locality also produces the most Robusta coffee in the world.

 In recent years, businesses, organisations and farmers have applied positive measures such as meeting UTZ standards, using IPM and ICM management, and establishing modern production lines, thereby increasing the quality of coffee products from Dak Lak province.

 Coffee exports bring in US$600 million of foreign currency every year to Dak Lak, making up 40 percent of Vietnam’s total coffee export turnover.
