Reduce the planting area of ROBUSTA coffee and turn the land with low efficiency in coffee cultivation into other perennial cash crops such as rubber, pepper, fruit trees and annual crops such as cotton and hybrid corn.

Expand the planting area of ARABICA coffee in areas where conditions permit. The ultimate goal of the strategy is to maintain or slightly reduce the current perennial area of coffee to about 450000 to 500000 hectares, including 350000 to 400000 hectares for ROBUSTA coffee (a decrease of 100000 to 150000 hectares) and 100000 hectares for ARABICA coffee (an increase of 60, 000 hectares over the 40, 000 hectares previously grown with French aid loans). The total output is guaranteed to be about 600000 tons, equivalent to 10 million packets, 5 million packets less than the current ROBUSTA coffee.

The geographical location in the south is very favorable for coffee cultivation, while the hot and humid tropical climate in southern Vietnam is suitable for growing ROBUSTA coffee and the northern part 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.

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 export companies were OLAM (wholly foreign-owned enterprise, 21326 tons), DAKMAN (joint venture, 18076 tons) and VINAFIMEX (local enterprises, 13719 tons).

The Vietnam Coffee quality Standards Committee was led by the Vietnam Coffee Association to draft the Vietnam National Coffee Standard, which was reported to the Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment (now the Ministry of Science and Technology) for examination and approval by the General Administration of quality Monitoring of Vietnam Coffee Standards.
