According to data from the Customs Department, in the first half of 2025, Vietnam’s coffee exports reached 5.45 billion USD with 953,900 tons, nearly matching the total turnover for the entire year of 2024, which was 5.48 billion USD. This indicates that this sector has strong momentum towards achieving the 7 billion USD target for the entire year of 2025.
Regarding the export market, the EU remains the largest coffee consumer market for Vietnam in the first half of the year, accounting for 42.6% of the total export value, reaching 409,713 tons and a value of 2.3 billion USD. This is an increase of 14.7% in volume and 84.9% in value compared to the same period in 2024.
Germany, Italy, and Spain were the three largest coffee-consuming markets for Vietnam in the past six months, accounting for market shares of 16.3%, 7.9%, and 7.4%, respectively.
Among the top 15 export markets, the value of coffee exports increased the most in Algeria, with an unexpected increase of 88 times, reaching 148.3 million USD. Similarly, Mexico and Canada also saw an increase of 3 to 3.5 times in export value.
Algeria is a potential market for Vietnamese coffee.
Coffee export turnover increased sharply in the past six months thanks to the high average export price of Vietnam, reaching over 5,700 USD/ton, an increase of more than 59% compared to the same period last year. This is the first time that the price of Vietnamese coffee has maintained a significantly high level compared to previous years.
Fluctuations in the global coffee supply, along with significant improvements in quality over the past 10 years, have contributed to the sharp increase in Vietnamese coffee prices.
In the first half of 2025, Vietnam’s coffee exports reached 5.45 billion USD, nearly matching the total value for the entire year of 2024.
Algeria is now one of the top 10 largest raw coffee export markets for Vietnam, with a strong increase in coffee export turnover.
According to data from the General Department of Customs (Ministry of Finance), in 2024, Vietnamese enterprises exported 34,158 tons of green coffee to Algeria, with a turnover of 127.4 million USD.
Algeria does not grow coffee, so it has to import 100% to meet the demand of its people, who are fond of this beverage. With a population of over 46 million people, Algeria imports about 130,000 tons of coffee of all types each year, worth about 300 million USD.
Coffee is imported in its raw form (beans) and then processed by Algerian importers in factories according to the preferences of Algerian consumers and the country’s import policies. Among them, Robusta coffee accounts for the majority of Algeria’s total coffee import value (over 85%), while the rest is Arabica coffee.
One of the main changes that benefits Vietnam is that the Algerian government has decided to reduce the coffee import tax from 30% to 5% and eliminate the 19% value-added tax and the 10% domestic consumption tax. Accordingly, the total tax and fees for importing green robusta coffee into Algeria have been reduced to only 10%, while they were very high at 63% previously.
In Vietnam, we have three main coffee-growing regions, including the Central Highlands, the Northwest, and the Central Coast. Among them, the Central Highlands is the largest coffee-growing region, accounting for a significant portion of the country’s coffee production, especially Robusta coffee.
Buon Ma Thuot (Dak Lak) is considered the “heart of Vietnamese coffee” with the largest area and coffee production in the country, covering about 210,000 hectares. The annual harvest is over 520,000 tons, accounting for more than 30% of the national output.
