Merkanta is pleased to be the first, if not the only professional coffee importer to provide high-quality, professional micro-batches from Vietnam. Starting in 2015, this is a new starting point for us, and we are proud to be able to invest in sustainable growth and pricing premium Arabica coffee beans in a region with great potential for the future.

All the Vietnamese coffee producers we offer have received extensive training to improve all aspects of their production, from planting to business practices. All data on planting are regularly entered into the Farmers' Field Manual and regularly reviewed and discussed by field consultants and experts. At the end of the year, the data are analyzed and fed back to each farmer in the farmer field school to enable producers to more accurately complete the cost-benefit analysis, better understand and implement the necessary steps, and continue to increase their yields. This extremely rigorous training and production method (almost unheard of in other parts of the country) has created a different kind of coffee that heralds great things from this place of origin.

Coffee was introduced to Vietnam in the 19th century, and Arabica coffee was actually grown in plantations owned by many French throughout the French colonial period. Still, Vietnam has been slow to become a coffee producer due to a variety of political and economic factors, including a massive civil war and a subsequent Communist ban on private land ownership. As of 1990, Vietnam accounted for only 1% of the world coffee trade.

All this has changed, by 1990, from the highest point in Viet Nam to the current second local coffee-producing country (Brazil)-with substantial investment in coffee production possible, land ownership in much the same liberalization reforms in the mid-1980s and World Bank / International Monetary Fund (IMF) policy recommendations to encourage farmers to produce coffee exports. However, China's rapid economic growth leaves little room for high-quality coffee. About 95% of the country's coffee is robusta coffee. Although Arabica coffee production has been increasing in recent years due to the expansion of planting area and the increase in production, it still accounts for a small proportion of Vietnam's total coffee production.

Coffee production in Vietnam is concentrated in the central highlands (80%), and almost all of the Arabica coffee beans grown in the country come from Lindong province in the north of the province. The topography here is largely called "Bashan Red Land" (red basalt soil) by locals, which provides perfect conditions for growing coffee. This rich volcanic mountain soil, coupled with the elevation of the highlands, makes coffee cherries grow slowly, even slowly, and eventually, coffee becomes sweeter and better.

Given Viet Nam's economic development as a large supplier of commodity-grade coffee, there is little traditional demand for traceable coffee. However, Merkanta's partners have made a clear commitment to continue their efforts to achieve excellence in the region and provide great potential for the future.
