The event is one of Nestle Viet Nam’s efforts to strengthen farmers’ knowledge of the quality of exported coffee, and to help in developing the coffee sector of Viet Nam. “We want to improve the knowledge of coffee growers and the quality of coffee in Viet Nam, and we want to push competitiveness and create potential value for the coffee industry in Viet Nam,” said Pierre Schaufelberger, General Director of Nestle Viet Nam.
Nestle buys about 20-25 percent of the exported coffee output of Viet Nam, accounting for 200,000-250,000 tonnes of coffee each year.
