For decades, “Vietnam” and “Commodity Robusta” were synonymous in the global coffee trade. However, as we enter 2026, a profound shift is reshaping the country’s coffee identity. Driven by a need to capture higher value and meet the rigorous demands of sophisticated markets, the specialty coffee sector in Vietnam is emerging not just as a […]
For the professional roaster, the decision to buy green coffee beans for roasting is the single most critical determinant of profitability.

As we enter the new year, Vietnam—the world’s largest Robusta producer—finds itself at the center of a complex market dynamic defined by record export volumes, […]
In the fragmented landscape of global coffee production, coffee cooperatives act as the essential bridge between millions of smallholder farmers and the international market. As we analyze the 2026 market—defined by “structural vulnerability” and rigorous new traceability mandates—the role of the cooperative has shifted from a simple aggregator to a sophisticated compliance and logistics partner.

In our previous strategic analysis of organic unroasted coffee beans, we explored the pinnacle of agricultural purity. We deconstructed the rigorous certification regimes (USDA, EU) that define the organic market and the premiums required to support that ecosystem. But the vast majority of the global coffee trade does not carry an organic seal. It operates […]
In our previous strategic analysis, we established the economic imperative of sourcing bulk raw coffee beans. We demonstrated that moving from spot-market purchasing to container-load volume is the only way to secure true margin control and traceability. But strategy is nothing without execution.
