VOV.VN - Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has asked the Ministry of Public Security to urgently investigate the December 18 tragic fire at a coffee shop in Hanoi that killed 11 people.

VOV.VN - The police of Hanoi on December 19 morning arrested a local resident suspected of starting the fire at a coffee shop in the capital’s Bac Tu Liem district, killing 11 people and injuring 2 others.

Coffee prices have increased by over 50% on average this year, enabling the export revenue to potentially surpass US$5 billion for the first time.

Vietnam’s agricultural product exports are on track to achieve an unprecedented milestone, with projected revenue reaching US$60-61 billion this year, up US$7-8 billion compared to 2023.

MISS EDE, a coffee brand under the Dak-Lak-based EDE Farm Trade Service LLC, held a ceremony in the Central Highlands province’s Buon Ma Thuot city on December 1 to mark the shipment of its first roasted coffee container to the US.

Coffee export revenue is projected to reach a record US$5.6 billion this year, driven by rising global coffee prices.

VOV.VN - Vietnam exported 1.15 million tonnes of coffee worth US$4.57 billion during the past 10 months of the year, a drop of 11.1% in volume but up 39.2% in value compared to the same period last year, according to the General Department of Vietnam Customs.

A sharp rise in export prices has been the major reason behind a surge in the export revenue of Vietnamese coffee sector so far, according to the Vietnam Coffee-Cocoa Association (Vicofa).

Vietnam’s coffee exports exceeded the US$5 billion mark for the first time in the 2023-2024 crop year that lasted from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024.
