Extreme Weather Threatens Robusta Coffee Production in Vietnam
What happened
Extreme weather, including prolonged heat and drought, is posing serious challenges to coffee cultivation in Vietnam. This threatens Robusta production, which is a key source of income for local households in the Đắk Đoa commune. While 950 hectares of coffee plantations are part of sustainable chains certified under the Common Code for the Coffee Community, an international standard originating in Germany, these conditions reduce yields and bean quality.

Why it matters
The drought poses serious challenges to coffee cultivation. Reduced yields and bean quality in Vietnam could decrease global agricultural supply. This situation adds to existing pressures on global coffee prices, which are already rising due to droughts in Vietnam and Brazil.
Droughts in Vietnam and Brazil are currently driving up global coffee prices, with the UK importing climate-affected commodities from Brazil.
