Introduction 1. Background of Vietnam’s Coffee Over past 20 years, Vietnam Coffee history has been changed speedily and remarkably. Being from a non-well-known industry, it becomes one of the most important industries which are bringing huge revenues to the whole nation since the Government changed and amended policies and market structure. Since the 1990s, Vietnam has moved from a closed economy to a more open minded economy in which international investors/companies, as well as private companies are more welcome. As the consequence of changes and amendment in government policies, Vietnam became and still has been a quickest growing country and standing at the 2nd position of producing and exporting coffee in the globe. The remarkable development of Vietnam Coffee Industry could be explained by three vital reasons in the last two decades: the stimulation from changes and amendment in government policies following with liberalization in agriculture and finally thank for favorable developments in the global coffee market. Surprisingly, Vietnam is a country which has the fastest growth rate in producing and exporting coffee in comparison with other countries; such as a strong competitor – Colombia spent about 75 years to achieve the volumes that Vietnam already achieved in last decade, started from 2004. Particularly in Vietnam Coffee industry, producing and exporting segments take majority parts while coffee consumptions of Vietnamese contribute a small amount in total of revenue made from Coffee industry. In term of coffee production segment, Vietnam largely produces Robusta coffee which has highly contributed to and assisted Vietnam Coffee to become a strong country in the global coffee industry. 1 Refer to a period of the 1990s on which Vietnam had been through an open-minded circumstance, Vietnam’s coffee sector experienced explosive growth by following main reasons. A first important reason is the looseness of governmental policies, especially for agricultural segments. Export crops including coffee were favorably mandated and stimulated by the government in different forms; prioritizing for favorable credits, supplying inputs, supporting with low-cost of land rent. The looseness of policies consequently led to an increase in cultivated area as well as a remarkable amount of outputs. A short-term after this looseness, Vietnam had soon earned the highest input production – average in more of two tons or 34 bags (60 kilograms) per hectare by the year 2000. At that time, the success and fastest growth of Vietnam Coffee industry had additionally driven by two external factors: weather problems and willingness of using Robusta coffee. In 1994 and respectively in 1997, climate changes significantly affect Brazil’s coffee growing; therefore it created substantial hikes in global coffee price. Also with that, the global roasters changed their coffee preferences when they use more Robusta coffees in their blends since there were technological improvements in the coffee processing in which Robusta’s harsher flavor characteristics were softened. Vietnam government in the last two decades had unique and consistent development policies for the national economy. Industrialization had to be prioritized; however, it must be implemented in parallel with agricultural developments. Developments of Vietnam economy in the last ten years had recorded that agriculture still plays a substantial role where it highly contributed a quarter of whole nation’s GDP – a part of that is contributed by growing and producing coffee. The first position in the national agriculture is growing and producing rice and the next after position is growing and producing coffee. This agricultural segment directly 2 employs huge amount of workers, especially during at the harvest seasons and might occupy about 3% of agricultural labor force. Despite the advantages of changes in governmental policies and external factors, Vietnam Coffee industry had confronted a plenty of challenges in the global trade arena. The success of Vietnam Coffee industry is remained consistently since now is due to well-understanding of coffee trade dynamics in new environment in which transparency and agility. Comprehensive understanding of the global coffee market allowed Vietnam Coffee Industry to reach new opportunities; such as gaining market share over the competitors in Africa and Asia. Nevertheless, it at the same time created more strict competition for Vietnam Coffee since it not only had to compete with the existing ones but also had to seek new market and market channels. Understanding and exploiting the comparative production advantages, Vietnam had been very competitive in its core business – producing and deliver basic coffees. One of the advantages is the lowest cost of providing of bulk coffee with little add values. However, Vietnam Coffee Industry still had several significant challenges and difficulties to enhance Vietnam Coffee’s reputation over the global market; for example promoting consistent and high quality. Vietnam’s competitors did not face these obstacles; such as the number one coffee producer – Brazil which had the longest history in growing and producing coffee. Therefore,

  • Trade and Sustainable Development in Vietnam
    Trade and Sustainable Development in Vietnam IISD is producing this paper as part of its capacity building program for developing countries on the issues of trade and sustainable development – the Trade Knowledge Network Project. This work was carried out with the aid of a grant from the International Development Research Centre, Ottawa, Canada. The full version of this research, and the work of other members of the Trade Knowledge Network, is available on IISDnet at http://iisd.ca/tkn/default.htm. The Knowledge Networks Project aims to build capacity in developing countries to address the issues of trade and sustainable development. It consists of three main areas of work: domestic-level research and workshops on the linkages between trade and sustainable development at the local and international levels; additional research on cross-cutting themes of interest to developing country policy-makers; and the linking of developing country research institutions in a trade and sustainable development knowledge network. For more information on the Trade Knowledge Network Project, see http://iisd.ca/tkn/default.htm, or contact IISD at [email protected]. IISD contributes to sustainable development by advancing policy recommendations on international trade and investment, economic instruments, climate change, measurement and indicators, and natural resource management. Using Internet communications, we report on international negotiations and broker knowledge gained through collaborative projects with global partners, resulting in more rigorous research, capacity building in developing countries and better dialogue between North and South.

I would like to acknowledge the students, faculty, and staff of the University of California, Riverside Department of Anthropology for their patience, support, and encouragement over the past years. In particular, I am indebted to my advisor Christina Schwenkel for her mentorship and ability to challenge me to think in new and productive ways but also to develop my own voice and perspective on contemporary Vietnam and cultural anthropology. I thank Paul Ryer for his impressive ability to share oral anthropological lore that is at once humbling and helpful, but more importantly, our conversations about commodities and market-socialism that inform my scholarship at large. I thank Piya Chatterjee for her perspective, guidance, wisdom, and presence as an meaningful ally throughout my time in Riverside. And I thank Derick Fay for his theoretical depth and input on the environmental and agricultural aspects of my work. David Biggs, Mariam Lam, Rene Lysloff, Hendrik Maier, Sally Ness, Deborah Wong and everyone in the UC Riverside “SEATRiP” community brought me here many years ago and I am forever grateful for the lively Southeast Asian Studies community in the Inland Empire. Conducting research in Vietnam is no small task and I owe a debt of gratitude to many people who live over eight thousand miles away.
