Discussing coffee growing regions in Vietnam, one cannot overlook the Central Highlands, particularly Buon Ma Thuot - Dak Lak, which is regarded the world's largest export market for Robusta coffee.

Positive market signals indicate that the number one product, coffee, will continue to benefit from advantageous tax rates under the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) to expand market share in the EU's annual coffee import demand of approximately 10 billion USD.
