From October 2024 to September 2025, Vietnam's coffee exports were up 1.8 per cent in volume and 55.5 per cent in value compared to the 2023-2024 crop year, reported the Vietnam Coffee and Cocoa Association (VICOFA) at a conference in Ho Chi Minh City on October 24 reviewing the 2024-2025 crop year and planning for 2025-2026.

VICOFA Chairman Nguyen Nam Hai attributed the remarkable growth in export turnover to high coffee prices, which averaged USD 5,610 per tonne, a 52.7 per cent increase over the previous crop year.

In the first nine months of 2025, Vietnam exported about 1.25 million tonnes of coffee, generating USD 7 billion, up 11.7 per cent in volume and 62.2 per cent in value year on year.

 According to Vietnam Customs, Germany was the largest importer of Vietnamese coffee, purchasing 196,259 tonnes. Italy followed with 124,766 tonnes, Spain with 110,224 tonnes, and other major markets included Japan, the United States, and Algeria.

Overall, Europe remained Vietnam’s largest coffee market, importing 710,000 tonnes valued at USD 4 billion, accounting for 47.2 per cent of volume and 46.7 per cent of value.

Addressing the conference, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Environment Hoang Trung stressed that coffee was not only an agricultural product with high export value but also a crucial source of livelihood for millions of farmers.

Coffee has become a national brand of Vietnam in the world’s agricultural market as in recent years Vietnam which made up 20 per cent of the total global coffee supply maintained its position as the second largest coffee exporter in the world, behind Brazil, he said.
