According to a report by the Digital Transformation Department (Ministry of Agriculture and Environment), coffee exports in August 2025 are estimated at 95,000 tons, valued at over $429 million.
In the first eight months of 2025, coffee exports reached 1.2 million tons, earning $6.42 billion, up 8.7% in volume and 59.1% in value compared to the same period in 2024. This figure far surpasses the record $5.6 billion for all of 2024. The reason is due to the sharp increase in coffee prices, reaching $5,580/ton, 46.4% higher than the previous year.
This price increase stems from limited supply due to unfavorable weather in major coffee-producing countries such as Brazil and Indonesia, along with concerns about new US tariff policies, which have boosted the recovery of Vietnamese coffee prices.
In terms of export markets, Germany, Italy, and Spain are the three largest coffee consuming markets for Vietnam, accounting for market shares of 14.5%, 7.5%, and 7.4%, respectively.
Asian countries are gradually emerging as potential coffee consuming markets with strong growth rates. Notably, Cambodia has recently recorded a surge in imports of Vietnamese coffee.
According to the Customs Department, in July 2025, Vietnam exported 713 tons of coffee to Cambodia, worth $2.7 million, up 406% in volume and 460% in value compared to the same period. Cumulatively, in the first seven months, exports reached 2,231 tons, with a value of $10 million, up 78% and 114%, respectively.
Notably, in Cambodia, processed coffee accounts for a high proportion, nearly 50% of total exports. In July alone, out of a total of 196 tons of coffee exported to Cambodia, more than 100 tons were coffee beans, with the remainder being processed products. The average export price reached $4,428/ton, a significant increase of more than 20% over the same period last year.
According to businesses, the breakthrough in coffee exports to Cambodia is not by chance, but is based on the foundation of sustainable and positive bilateral trade relations over the years.
According to statistics, over the past decade, Vietnam-Cambodia trade relations have continuously strengthened. From 2014 to 2024, bilateral trade increased more than threefold, from $3.3 billion to $10.1 billion, equivalent to an average growth rate of about 12%/year. And in just the first seven months of 2025, it reached over $7 billion.
Vietnam is currently Cambodia’s largest trading partner in ASEAN, while Cambodia is the fourth largest trading partner of Vietnam in the region. In the coming time, Vietnam and Cambodia aim to raise bilateral trade to $20 billion.
Mr. Do Viet Phuong, Commercial Counselor of Vietnam in Cambodia, said that instead of simply exporting, Vietnamese enterprises should consider establishing a foothold in Cambodia through a small-scale model – such as opening a store, a production facility, or a pilot business in key areas such as Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Battambang, or areas close to the Vietnamese community, which will help Vietnamese goods maintain their position in this market.
The sectors that are assessed to have great potential for Vietnamese enterprises in Cambodia include: Fast-moving consumer goods (processed food, beverages, instant noodles, spices, confectionery); processed agricultural and aquatic products (high-quality rice, coffee, pepper, dried fruit, frozen tra fish, shrimp); building materials (cement, iron and steel, tiles) to meet the increasing construction needs; garment and affordable fashion with suitable designs and prices; and natural, safe, and reasonably priced health and beauty care products.
