In the first four months of 2025, Vietnam’s coffee export sector has recorded outstanding growth in export value, with Mexico leading the charge as the fastest-growing market. Remarkably, Mexico has surpassed China to become Vietnam’s 9th largest coffee export destination, thanks to a 54-fold increase in export value compared to the same period in 2024.
