Vietnam harvested 862,400 tonnes of coffee worth over 3 billion USD in the first half of this year, down more than 8% in volume, but up nearly 40% year-on-year.

Thanks to a trend of hiking in coffee prices, experts have predicted that this year’s coffee export revenue may exceed last year’s record of 4 billion USD.

Indonesia is determined to increase its coffee output to reclaim the position as the world’s second biggest producer.

Vietnam exported more than 1.8 million tonnes of coffee worth some 3.54 billion USD in 2018, year-on-year rises of 20 percent and 1.2 percent respectively.
