Customs data reveals that by the end of November, Vietnam’s agricultural, forestry, and aquatic exports reached USD 64 billion, marking a 12.6% increase compared to the same period last year and surpassing the highest annual figure of 2024. At this pace, the USD 70 billion target for the year is well within reach.

Within this overall picture, agricultural products remain the driving force, with exports totaling USD 34.24 billion, a 15% rise. This year’s standout feature is the more concentrated growth momentum, with fruits and vegetables leading in scale and coffee making a significant impact in value.

Specifically, in November 2025, Vietnam exported nearly 89,000 tons of coffee, earning approximately USD 508 million, reflecting a 41% increase in volume and a 44.4% rise in value compared to the same period in 2024. This performance further solidifies coffee’s role as a key pillar in Vietnam’s agricultural export portfolio.

In the first 11 months of 2025, coffee exports reached about 1.4 million tons, with a record-breaking revenue of USD 7.94 billion—an unprecedented figure in the history of Vietnamese coffee exports since 1990. Notably, while the volume increased by only 15.1% year-on-year, the export value surged by 60.9%. This is primarily due to the average export price of coffee reaching USD 5,661 per ton, nearly 40% higher than in 2024.

The EU remains Vietnam’s largest coffee export market, accounting for over 40% of total revenue. Germany, for the first time, surpassed the USD 1 billion mark in coffee imports from Vietnam. Additionally, exports to Japan, the US, and other markets also showed positive growth.

2025 is hailed as a successful year for Vietnam’s coffee industry, with stable export growth primarily driven by high global coffee prices amid tight global supply. Sustained import demand from major markets has provided a solid foundation for export revenue.

The impressive results of Vietnam’s coffee sector in the 2024–2025 crop year are not solely due to global supply shortages driving up prices but also reflect a robust transformation in quality, value, and branding.

In recent years, Vietnam has emerged as a global hub for deep processing in the coffee industry, with major corporations expanding production lines and investing in advanced technology. Simultaneously, Vietnam maintains its position as the world’s leading exporter of Robusta coffee—a product increasingly favored by roasters for blending and instant coffee production.
