Hanoi (VNA) – The Trung Nguyen group, Vietnam’sfamous coffee business, plans to open 3,000 E-Coffee shops by 2020, beforebringing the franchise chain to overseas market.

Targeting low and middle income consumers who prefertake-away drinks, each shop costs its owner between 65 and 175 million VND(2,815 – 7,581 USD) for an area ranging from 4 to 40 square metres.

Most of Vietnam's coffee beans are of the Robusta variety,known for being relatively easy to grow and resistant to disease and pests --qualities that ensure stable crops. The beans make for a heady, somewhat bittercoffee in contrast to Brazil's more costly Arabica beans, which tend to have asweeter, softer flavour.
