Coffee price assessment
According to AFP, Vietnam's Central Highlands produces about 1/6 of the world's coffee production, but many farmers are switching from this traditional crop to durian to take advantage of the increasing demand in China for the fruit dubbed the "king of fruits".
Favored by nature with a tropical climate and fertile basalt soil, the Central Highlands produces a large amount of Robusta coffee. Vietnam is currently only behind Brazil in coffee production.
However, according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, the area of durian cultivation in Vietnam has increased more than 5 times, to 200,000 hectares in the past decade.
Vietnam officially accessed the Chinese durian market after signing a trade protocol in 2022. By last year, Vietnam had become the largest durian supplier to China in terms of output, ending nearly 20 years of Thailand dominating this market.
Vietnam's durian exports are forecast to reach 4 billion USD this year, a sharp increase compared to 180 million USD in 2021. Of which, 90% of the output is exported to the northern neighboring country.
However, in the Central Highlands, increasing concerns are emerging about dependence on the Chinese market, as well as the risk of oversupply as more and more farmers are running after durian trees.
Many people are worried about the recent plunge in durian prices in Malaysia, believed to be due to an unusual bumper crop in this country.
Farmers still maintain coffee area on land leased from coffee companies, thereby contributing to dispersing risks.
