VOV.VN - Vietnam exported 7,420 tonnes of coffee worth US$18.77 million to the Netherlands in the first two months of the year, up 93.1% in volume and 105.7% in value year on year, according to the General Department of Vietnam Customs.
The average export price of Vietnamese coffee to the market also rose by 5.7% to US$2,517 per tonne year on year.
February alone witnessed the country ship 4,100 tonnes of coffee worth US$10.11 million to the Netherlands, up 110.3% in volume and 136.6% in value compared to February 2022.
Last year the major suppliers of coffee to the Netherlands were mainly from the intra-EU market, including Belgium, Germany, France, Finland, and Italy. Meanwhile, Dutch coffee imports from the non-EU market also enjoyed double-digit growth, with Vietnam becoming the second largest foreign supplier to this market.
Experts have advised Vietnamese enterprises to boost coffee exports to the Netherlands which is considered the gateway into the European market.
They also recommended that Vietnamese firms closely abide by the requirements set by Dutch and European importers in terms of product quality and gain greater insights into consumer demand, logistics services, and distribution systems to further penetrate these markets.
