Vietnam
News:
- The 2025/26 crop has largely recovered from the drought-stressed seasons of 2023/24 and 2024/25. Most trade estimates now expect production around 30–31 million bags, making it one of the strongest Robusta crops in several years.
- The key risks have shifted from drought to localized typhoons, excessive rainfall during harvest, and regulatory compliance (EUDR).
Arrival:

Full container load Mr. Toi Canephora has arrived and will be available from next week!
