In Vietnam, coffee exports are showing impressive results. In the first half of May, businesses exported nearly 63,000 tons of robusta coffee, earning approximately $345 million. Compared to the same period last year, production increased by 83% and value increased by 155%.
Another noteworthy point is the rapid rise of foreign-invested enterprises in the green coffee export sector. This group now accounts for nearly 40% of the market share, a significant increase from 30% in previous years.
Global coffee supply is projected to increase as Brazil and Indonesia enter their peak harvest seasons. However, according to traders in Vietnam, the amount of coffee available for export is still not abundant, indicating that the market is still in a sensitive supply-demand balance phase.

This past week, the global coffee market has been drawn to news from Indonesia, currently the world's fourth-largest coffee producer and exporter. The country faces the risk of becoming a net importer of coffee within the next five years due to continuously declining production and a sharp increase in domestic consumption.
Faced with this situation, Indonesia is studying Vietnam's coffee replanting model, viewing it as a successful lesson that can be applied. Currently, Indonesia's average coffee yield is only below 0.6 tons per hectare, much lower than Vietnam's yield of up to 3 tons/ha. Like Vietnam, Indonesia mainly grows Robusta coffee, but the area planted with Arabica remains modest.
Meanwhile, in Brazil, the world's largest coffee producer, this year's harvest is proceeding according to schedule. As of May 21, 2024, approximately 22% of the Robusta acreage and 15% of the Arabica acreage had been harvested. Brazil is currently harvesting Robusta and will begin harvesting Arabica from mid-May.
