Hanoi (VNA) - The Trade Promotion Agency under theMinistry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) and Vietnamese trade offices in Africa willjointly organise a session to give consultations to domestic businesses on exporting coffeeto the African market.
The event will directly take place on July 21 in the Central Highlands of DakLak - which is considered the "capital" of coffee in Vietnam, and via Zoom platform and the Trade Promotion Agency’s Facebookfanpage.
According to the agency, experts from the Vietnamese tradeoffices in Algeria, Egypt, Morocco and Nigeriawill clarify issues of concern to businesses related to the import and exportof coffee products to the African market such as quality, payment and shippingmethods, and goods insurance.
With a population of over 1.4 billion people, and the highdemand in importing many types of goods, Africa is really a promising market forVietnamese products, especially coffee.
The market spends about 750 million USD on importing coffee, inwhich, Vietnam is one of the five main coffee suppliers.
In addition to raw products, a number of Vietnamese coffee processorssuch as Trung Nguyen and King Coffee, are also interested in this market.
The programme will offer a good chance for Vietnamese businessesto learn about the market, thereby avoiding risks when exportingcoffee to African countries./.
