Vietnam coffee news
Recent developments in coffee in Vietnam include:
Vietnam coffee industry EUDR
Vietnam’s coffee sector faces compliance challenges under the European Union Deforestation Regulation, which requires plot-level geospatial traceability and proof of land legality, according to Ag Tech Navigator.
Lily Tran of Koltiva, an Indonesian sustainable agriculture and supply chain traceability company, said fragmented smallholder farms and incomplete land documentation create major barriers to meeting traceability requirements.
Exporters able to meet European Union Deforestation Regulation requirements are being prioritised, increasing pressure on smaller producers lacking compliant documentation, the article says.
Tainted coffee
Vietnamese police launched a criminal investigation after seizing 4.1 tons of fake coffee and three tons of raw materials from a warehouse in Lam Dong province, VN Express has reported.
Authorities said the products were made by mixing soybeans and flavourings with coffee beans for sale on the domestic market.

The industry is export-oriented, with major markets including Europe, the United States and Asia.
In recent years, producers have sought to move up the value chain through deeper processing, branded products and greater participation in specialty coffee segments.
