It was a slight decrease of about 0.1% in volume but an increase of 3.7% in value compared to August. Meanwhile, it increased by 63.5% in volume and 66.3% in value compared to September 2024. This was an impressive growth amid the global economic and supply chain fluctuations.

Harvesting coffee in Vietnam
Additionally, arabica coffee also recorded significant progress, with export value increasing by over 120%. The reasons were high export prices and increasingly diverse consumer demand.
The United States was one of the key markets of Vietnam’s coffee exports. Notably, Vietnam maintained its position as the fourth-largest coffee supplier. In the first 7 months of 2025, Vietnam exported 70.6 thousand tons, worth $412.4 million to the United States. Although volume slightly decreased by 12.7%, turnover increased by as much as 49%. It indicated a trend toward higher export value rather than relying solely on volume.
Overall, Vietnam’s coffee industry is transforming toward a more modern and sustainable direction. Growth in export value, quality improvement, and expansion of processed coffee exports are positive signals. However, to maintain competitive advantages, the sector needs to continue investing in processing capacity, quality standardization, national brand development, and leveraging free trade agreements to expand markets.
