The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) is carryingout its master plan to develop the coffee processing system by 2020 in abid to increase the added value of domestic coffee products, said asenior official.
Vo Thanh Do, Deputy Head of the ministry’s Agro-Forestry, Seafood Processing and Salt Industry Department, said thatalthough Vietnam is the leading country in robusta coffee production andexports, the processing industry still has numerous restrictionslimiting the added value in the coffee sector.
According to themaster plan, the coffee sector targets an export capacity of 1 milliontonnes of coffee beans annually through upgrading and modernisingcurrent production lines to improve product quality.
The ministry is also focused on improving the quality and food securityof the existing roasted and ground coffee products consumeddomestically while increasing the total yearly productivity to 50,000tonnes (90 percent of the designed capacity) in 2020 from the current26,000 tonnes (50 percent of the designed capacity).
Anotherpriority is elevating instant coffee to become a high value-addedproduct for exports and domestic consumption with total output of 55,000tonnes in 2020 and 120,000 tonnes in 2030. Mixed coffee products likethree-in-ones and two-in-ones are expected to reach over 200,000 tonnesby 2020 and 230,000 tonnes by 2030.
Over the next 15 years,processed coffee commodities for export and domestic consumption aretargeted to generate 1 billion USD, accounting for 25 percent of theproduction value.
The ministry is especiallyencouraging instant coffee processing in the Central Highlands,Southeast and Mekong Delta regions as well as developing mixed instantcoffee in the southern central coastal and northern mountainous areasalong with the three above-mentioned regions.
Do said domesticmarket development is of special importance, particularly in northernlocalities, to increase the consumption rate to 25 percent by 2030 fromthe current rate below 10 percent.
Furthermore,trade promotion activities have been fostered to enhance coffeepenetration in international markets with the focus on Northeast Asia,Eastern Europe and ASEAN nations.
The coffee sector aims toincrease the rate of coffee beans process at industrial scale to 40percent this year, 70 percent by 2020 and 80 percent by 2030.
Theministry has set its sights on yearly revenues of 3.8 million to 4.2billion USD from coffee exports by 2020 and 4.5 billion USD by 2030.-VNA
