Front street-introduction of Robusta coffee beans

Vietnam is located in Southeast Asia and has a tropical and subtropical climate. The climate is divided into three regions: the northern subtropical humid climate, the central and southern tropical monsoon climate and the central and southern savanna. Annual rainfall ranges from 1200 mm to 3000 mm, with temperatures ranging from 5 degrees Celsius in December to January and 37 degrees Celsius in April to May. Rainfall ranges from 1200 mm to 3000 mm, and annual temperatures vary from 5 degrees Celsius (December and January) to 37 degrees Celsius (April and May). The seasonal division is more pronounced in the north of the country than in the south.

Production area

The south of Vietnam has a hot and humid tropical climate, which is suitable for growing ROBUSTA coffee and the north is suitable for growing ARABICA coffee. Robusta continues to grow in four provinces in the central highlands (Duck-Lake, Lindong, Dark-Nong and Calais), with a total area of 530000 hectares and about 70, 000 hectares in other provinces. The cultivation of Arabica has been supported, including Sura (north-west Viet Nam), Enan, Kwong San (central provinces) and Landong (central highlands), as well as other central regions suitable for Arabica varieties.

Coffee in Vietnam is grown in areas between 500 and 1200 meters above sea level.

The main Robusta variety grown in Vietnam comes from the Indonesian island of Java. There are two main varieties of Robusta grown in Vietnam. One is the original Robusta adzuki bean, which is of good quality but has limited planting area because of its low yield and weak disease resistance. The second category is the so-called high-yielding varieties.

About 99% of Arabica coffee grown in Vietnam is katimo. Over the past 20 years, Vietnamese researchers have also crossed and grafted with Robusta varieties to produce new Arabica varieties, all with names starting with THA or TN. These new varieties can adapt to the local soil and climate, with high yield and enhanced resistance to diseases and insect pests.

Knowledge: coffee belongs to Rubiaceae. So far, 103 varieties of coffee have been found, but they have commercial value. Only three categories are widely cultivated.
