VIETNAM COFFEE EXPORTS TO BREAK ALL PAST RECORDS THIS YEAR

As per the reports published by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD), a considerable amount of growth has been observed in exports of coffee, as the increase has been noticed in Vietnam Export Data in the year 2025, which has brought the amount close to USD 6 billion. If we compare this with the year 2024, then it is a growth of 12%.

By going further into the report published by MARD, we will also get to know that the major export market for Vietnam is the European Union (EU). It constitutes roughly 39% of the total market share of Vietnam Exports in just the initial eight months. As per Vietnam Export Data for the year 2025, Vietnam exports coffee majorly to Belgium, Spain, the Netherlands, and Portugal in the EU countries. Despite the rise in coffee prices, there was no such major fluctuation in total exports to EU countries.

Besides the EU countries, other major countries that import coffee from Vietnam are Russia, the United Kingdom, India, and Mexico. The major growth is seen in the United Kingdom Trade data concerning coffee as a commodity. In the same time frame, the UK imported coffee from Vietnam worth USD 70.7 million, which translates to 34,750 tons of coffee. This became only possible because of the Free Trade Agreement between Vietnam and the UK and Northern Ireland.

If we refer to the US Import Data for the year 2025, the country imported 833,950 tons of coffee, which accounts for close to USD 4.7 billion from Vietnam in the initial six months of the year. This figure was up by 5% in terms of quantity, and 51% in terms of value, as the coffee of Vietnam cost USD 5,600/ton during that specific time frame.

OUR VERDICT

After discussing all the facts and figures, it is pretty much evident that the coffee industry in Vietnam is set to rise more in the future. Due to the increased dependence of each country on Vietnam for coffee, the Vietnam Trade Data will soon be dominated by coffee exports.

Nonetheless, by the end of 2026, it is estimated that the nation will make coffee exports close to USD 6 billion. The country has already crossed the benchmark of USD 5 billion in the last year, which, when compared to the stats of last year, showed a growth of 12%. Also, Vietnam is increasing the cost per ton of coffee to generate additional revenue and profits, as many countries are dependent on Vietnam for coffee exports, and the Western population can’t stay without coffee.
