In our previous analysis of Private label coffee manufacturing Vietnam, we explored how global brands are moving upstream. We discussed the strategic value of shifting production from Western roasting plants to the source in the Central Highlands, capturing labor arbitrage and freshness. However, building a private label brand—or even running a consistent commercial roasting operation—requires […]
In our previous strategic analysis, we explored the complex art of Negotiating with Vietnamese coffee suppliers. We established that securing the right price for green beans requires a deep understanding of the C-Market, differential mechanics, and the cultural nuances of the Vietnamese trade. However, for many global brands, roasters, and retail chains, purchasing green coffee […]
In our previous analysis of wholesale coffee beans pricing models, we armed you with the financial formulas necessary to understand the cost structure of green coffee. We deconstructed the relationship between the London Futures (C-Market) and the Differential (Basis). You now know what the price should be. But knowing the price and securing the deal […]
In our previous discussion on Annual planning with your coffee supplier, we established the operational roadmap for your roasting business. We determined your volume requirements, your quality tiers, and the seasonality of your procurement. Now, we must translate those physical needs into financial realities. Sourcing green coffee is not like buying milk from a grocery […]
In our previous analysis, we established the critical role of third-party coffee quality inspection. We defined it as the “Final Firewall”—the last line of defense before your container leaves the port of Ho Chi Minh City. It is a vital transactional tool that verifies the quality of a specific shipment at a specific moment in […]
In our previous strategic analysis, we navigated the bureaucratic maze of the Certificate of Origin for Vietnamese coffee. We established that accurate documentation is the key to unlocking tariff preferences (like the 0% duty under EVFTA) and ensuring the legal entry of your goods. We have now built a supply chain that is legally compliant, […]
In our previous strategic guide, we navigated the invisible minefield of food safety standards for coffee export. We established that for a Vietnamese green coffee beans supplier, compliance with MRLs (Maximum Residue Limits) and OTA (Ochratoxin A) thresholds is the biological license to operate. Without a safe product, you have no market. However, once the […]
In our previous comprehensive guide, we dissected the Vietnam coffee grading system (e.g., TCVN 4193:2014). We established that physical parameters—screen size, defect counts, and bean density—are the visible currency of value. They determine whether a bean is a premium “Screen 18” or a standard commercial lot. But in the modern global market, physical perfection is […]
In our previous deep dive into the upper echelons of the market, we explored the rigorous agronomy required for Organic green coffee beans certification. We established that obtaining an organic certificate is a testament to a farmer’s dedication to soil health and chemical-free production. However, a certificate tells you how a bean was grown; it […]
In our previous analysis, we explored the environmental resilience offered by Rainforest Alliance certified coffee Vietnam. We established that for the majority of the commercial market, the Rainforest Alliance standard offers a pragmatic balance between sustainability and scalability. It allows for the controlled use of agrochemicals to maintain the high yields that Vietnam is famous […]
