Vietnam's coffee export set to hit 1.7 mln tons in 2023
Vietnam's coffee export set to hit 1.7 mln tons in 2023 Vietnamese coffee exports are expected to reach a record high of 1.7 million tons of coffee, worth 4.2 billion dollars, in 2023, according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. This comes after Vietnam set a record-breaking export target of over 4 billion dollars in the previous year. This is due to rising domestic and global prices due to scarce supply, low coffee reserves, and increased global demand for Robusta. The target for 2025 is set at a total export target set at 6 billion dollars. Experts suggest that the industry should focus on increasing quality to increase export value and export sustainably. In the first nine months of this year, Vietnam exported 1.266 million tonnes of coffee worth 3.16 billion dollars for the first half of the year.

HANOI, Oct. 23 (Xinhua) -- Vietnam is expected to export 1.7 million tons of coffee, worth 4.2 billion U.S. dollars this year, a new high after setting the record at more than 4 billion dollars last year, Vietnam News reported Monday, citing the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.
Vietnamese coffee exports can reach a record level this year thanks to domestic and global prices climbing to their highest levels in the past 15 years due to scarce supply, low coffee reserves, and a strong increase in global demand for Robusta, the newspaper cited Pham Quang Anh, director of the Mercantile Exchange of Vietnam's Information Centre.
The 4.2 billion dollar target will provide a firm foundation for the export target of 6 billion dollars by 2030.
While Vietnam's coffee industry is on track for another record export year, driven by rising prices due to supply shortages, Vietnam News cited experts as saying that it's time for the industry to focus on quality to increase added value and export sustainably.
According to the General Department of Customs, in the first nine months of this year, Vietnam exported 1.266 million tons of coffee, worth 3.16 billion dollars. Enditem
