In particular, Dak Lak province requires planning and strengthening the work of strictly protecting the coffee area ready for harvest.
Propaganda and mobilization of organizations and individuals not to harvest green coffee, ensuring that the rate of ripe coffee when harvested is over 85%. In case of late harvest, the minimum rate of ripe fruit is 80%.
Local authorities and functional agencies must take strict measures to handle cases of harvesting and trading young coffee. Because coffee is a key agricultural product in the economic structure of the province.
This is also a product that accounts for a large proportion of the province's total social product and annual export turnover. Coffee directly affects the income of the majority of people living in the area.
