While in Western countries, takeaway coffee is increasingly popular, Russians still maintain the traditional habit of visiting their favorite coffee shops.
The most important conditions for coffee to grow well are a temperate or tropical climate, where there is no frost, plenty of sunshine, and water. However, due to the cold weather characteristics, coffee is not grown in this country.
Data from Stir, a specialized site analyzing tea and coffee products, shows that coffee consumption in Russia has significantly increased over the past 30 years. Analysts said that since 1991, the per capita coffee consumption in Russia has increased significantly.
According to the Rosselkhozbank Industrial Examination Center, currently, the average Russian drinks about 300 cups of coffee each year, equivalent to 60 liters per person and 8.76 billion liters for the entire country.
The general export tax on coffee is 0%. Based on the analysis of experts and regulatory agencies, Vietnam’s coffee export turnover has achieved impressive results recently due to a significant increase in global coffee prices while global supply has tightened. Along with that is the recovery of demand from major markets such as the EU, the US, Japan, South Korea, and China. Vietnam’s coffee exports in 2025 are forecast to reach a new record, with a turnover potentially exceeding 7 billion USD and possibly reaching 7.5 billion USD.
