Vietnam is the world's largest producer and exporter of robusta coffee. This page tracks the main export grades and connects B2B importers directly with verified Vietnamese coffee exporters — request current FOB pricing and quotes with no agents and no markups.
Vietnam exports the majority of the world’s robusta coffee, grown mainly across the Central Highlands (Dak Lak, Gia Lai, Lam Dong). Arabica is a smaller but growing share, from cooler regions such as Cau Dat (Lam Dong) and Son La in the north.
Export grading is by screen size and defect count: Grade 2 robusta (screen 13, 5% black & broken) is the common export benchmark, while Grade 1 (screen 18) is a higher, cleaner grade. Arabica is typically traded as washed/fully-washed.
Pricing follows the global market — robusta tracks the ICE London futures, plus a differential for grade, origin and quality — and moves with harvest conditions and weather. The main robusta harvest runs roughly October to January, when availability is highest.
Most exporters trade in full-container loads (FCL) — about 19.2 tons of green coffee per 20ft container. Common certifications include 4C, Rainforest Alliance and organic; specify requirements in your enquiry.

FAQs
What is the current price of Vietnamese robusta coffee?
Robusta export prices move with the ICE London futures market and harvest conditions, so they change frequently. This page lists the main export grades on an FOB basis — request current pricing for a firm, dated quote.
What is the minimum order quantity for Vietnamese green coffee?
Most exporters work in full-container loads (FCL) — roughly 19.2 tons of green coffee per 20ft container. Smaller LCL volumes may be possible with some suppliers.
What is the difference between Robusta Grade 1 and Grade 2?
Grade is set by screen size and defect count. Grade 1 (screen 18) is larger, cleaner bean; Grade 2 (screen 13, 5% black & broken) is the common export benchmark and typically lower-priced.
What does FOB mean for coffee from Vietnam?
FOB (Free On Board) means the price covers the coffee loaded onto the vessel at a Vietnamese port (usually Ho Chi Minh City); the buyer arranges and pays for ocean freight and insurance from there. CIF includes freight and insurance to the destination port.
When is the Vietnam coffee harvest?
The main robusta harvest runs from roughly October to January. Availability is highest just after harvest, and prices shift around the crop cycle.
