Early Harvest Activities in the Central Highlands
The 2025–2026 coffee crop year has officially begun in Vietnam’s Central Highlands region. According to Agromonitor, several provinces, including Đắk Lắk, Đắk Nông, and Gia Lai, have seen early harvesting activities, though volumes remain limited and market transactions are still relatively quiet.
Local farmers said that the main harvest will begin in about 15 to 20 days, and peak harvesting is expected to take place from mid-November.
Higher Output Expected for the 2025–2026 Crop Year
Field surveys conducted by Sucafina, a global coffee trading company, forecast that Vietnam’s coffee output for the 2025–2026 season will reach approximately 29.65 million bags, up 8.3% year-on-year.
Of this total, robusta coffee is projected to account for 28.34 million bags, an increase of 7.4%, while arabica coffee output may reach 1.3 million bags, up a notable 31.3% compared with last year.
Stable Weather Conditions Support Crop Development
Weather conditions across the Central Highlands have been relatively stable, with scattered rainfall in some areas but no significant impact on coffee trees. Local farmers are focusing on final-stage crop care before the main harvest period to ensure optimal yield and bean quality.
