The 20-foot container, comprising 18,000 finished packs of roasted coffee, represents a fully processed product packaged in Vietnam, rather than raw materials or rebranded exports.
The coffee was fermented to meet the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) standards, with beans sourced from sustainable farming regions certified under the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR).
The shipment, managed by a strategic partner and export trustee, is destined for Illinois, where it will be distributed through local supermarket networks. This move not only broadens US consumer access to Vietnamese coffee but also enhances its global profile.
This inaugural shipment is a crucial milestone, paving the way for expanding processed coffee exports and increasing value for the sector./.
