Vietnam

Under Vietnam's Doi Moi policy, the Vietnamese government positioned coffee as a major agricultural export.
Robusta was selected for the cultivation plan.
Robusta is resistant to pests and diseases and is cultivated primarily in the central highlands of Dak Lak Province, where the climate and growing conditions are well suited.

As part of the Doi Moi policy, Vietnam enacted the Foreign Investment Law in 1987.
This allowed foreign companies to establish operations in Vietnam.
Since then, investment by foreign companies in Vietnam has become more active.

While the specialty coffee industry was developing from the 1980s onward, the commodity coffee industry experienced a dramatic rise driven by Vietnamese coffee.
The catalyst for this rise was the slogan of the policy “Đổi Mới,” adopted at the Communist Party Congress of Vietnam in December 1986.
“Đổi Mới,” meaning “renovation,” aimed at introducing a market economy while maintaining the socialist system — a fundamental economic reform.
