Vietnam Coffee

There have been traces of human activities in Vietnam in ancient times. Ape-man teeth were found in Pingjia, Lang Shan Province, and Paleolithic tools were found in Dushan, Qinghua Province. To the Middle Stone Age and Neolithic Age, several cultural sites appeared in the northern region, such as "Culture of Peace" (in the Province of Peace) and "Beishan Culture" (in Beishan, Lang Shan Province). At that time, the ancestors used stone tools, bamboo wood, pottery and other objects to engage in hunting and gathering, but due to the small amount of cultural relics unearthed from these cultures, they could not fully reflect the situation at that time. In the lower reaches of the Dongna River in the south, there were 80 settlement, workshop and tomb sites between the late Neolithic Age and the Bronze Age, which were named "Post-Neolithic Culture" between 4500 and 2400 BC. The culture used a large number of stone tools in 111 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty destroyed the kingdom of Nanyue, and set up three counties of Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen and Rinan in northern and central Vietnam. For more than a thousand years, north-central Vietnam has been the direct subordinate territory of Chinese dynasties (Han Dynasty, Soochow Dynasty, Jin Dynasty, Southern Dynasty, Sui Dynasty, Tang Dynasty and Southern Han Dynasty). This period is called the "Northern period" or "County era" in Vietnamese history.

Coffee cultivation in Vietnam covers an area of about 500000 hectares, of which 10% are owned by state-owned enterprises and farms, and 85% by farmers and landowners. The scale of the manor is small, usually 2-5 hectares, and the large manor is about 30-50 hectares, but the number is small. Vietnamese coffee ranks second in all agricultural products exported from Vietnam, second only to rice. Every year, about 300000 farmers are engaged in coffee cultivation, with a labor force of 600000, and the labor force can reach 700000 to 800000 in the three-month harvest period. as a result, the coffee industry has absorbed 1.83% of the country's total labor force and 2.93% of the total agricultural labor force.

Vietnam Coffee Corporation (VINACAFE) is a 100% state-owned enterprise with 73 companies and farms under its jurisdiction. VINACAFE exports 20-25% of Vietnam's coffee production each year.

According to the business statistics of Vietnam Coffee Association, in 2000-2001 (from October 2000 to September 2001), a total of 874676 tons of coffee were exported from 149 units in Vietnam, of which the three largest exporters were OLAM (wholly foreign-owned enterprise, 21326 tons), DAKMAN (joint venture, 18076 tons) and VINAFIMEX (local enterprises, 13719 tons).

Vietnam's geographical location is very favorable for coffee cultivation. Southern Vietnam has a hot and humid tropical climate, which is suitable for growing ROBUSTA coffee, while the north is suitable for growing ARABICA coffee. Coffee production in Vietnam has the following characteristics: (1) because there is no effective way to deal with fallen leaves, medium-grain coffee was selected as the main variety in the early 1980s. (2) based on the planting technology, the coffee planting method was determined, that is, under the hot and humid climate in southern Vietnam, high density planting, large amount of irrigation, excessive fertilization and no shading trees were used to obtain the maximum yield and give full play to the production capacity of medium-grain coffee. The per unit yield of many coffee plantations in Daklak, Gia Lai, Kontum and Dong Nai areas of Vietnam reached 340t / ha. The yield of some plantations is even as high as 89.9 tons per hectare. (3) processing technology: mainly making full use of the solar energy drying method in the dry season in the plateau of central Vietnam to process coffee.
