Brazil is the largest producer of coffee beans in the world, and the second largest coffee country is Vietnam. However, due to the influence of abnormal weather, the output of coffee beans in Vietnam has decreased significantly this year, and its quality has also dropped a lot.

For more than 20 years, Lai Wen-hsiang has planted coffee trees on this two-hectare farm in Dele province, a coffee-producing region in Vietnam. On average, he can harvest seven tons of beans a year, earning about US $11000. But this year's harvest season, the harvest in the warehouse is only two tons. If you want to pick out the inferior products, only about half of them can be sold to the market.

Last year, when the coffee fruit needed moisture to grow,

Encounter the phenomenon of holy baby

The lack of water makes the coffee beans grow very small

Much smaller than in previous years

The output is much lower.

The drought made the coffee beans stunted during the growing period, but there was a big flood when it was time to dry the beans. Vietnamese coffee is traditionally harvested and placed in an open place to bask in the sun for a week before shelling. But flooding during the harvest forced farmers to use electric dryers, increasing the cost of declining quality and affecting the livelihoods of thousands of coffee farmers.

Vietnam is the world's second largest producer of coffee beans, and the beans produced here are the main raw materials for making instant coffee. Last year, it exported 1.8 million tons of beans, accounting for more than 1/5 of the global market.

Ms. Lee, CEO of Vietnam Coffee Company

We appeal to the government and relevant departments

Take action to protect Vietnamese coffee

Coffee companies should do business in a sustainable way

To protect the raw material end.

We should protect the land and water together.

And the variety of coffee.

To this end, relevant local agricultural research units are working on developing a new water-saving irrigation system to cultivate new varieties that can withstand adverse weather, so as to avoid the recurrence of bad luck.
