In September, Vietnam's coffee exports dropped by 10.2% in volume and 6.6% in value compared to August 2021 but still grossed an increase by 0.6% in volume and 11 .7% in value compared with September 2020, reaching 100,340 tons worth USD210 million.

The Import-Export Department (Ministry of Industry and Trade) forecasts that Vietnam's coffee exports will surge in the coming months due to an increase in global consumption demand when the country enters the coffee harvest season 2021-2022.

In addition, the social distancing is gradually being eased creating convenience for facilitating the harvest and transportation of coffee.
