The story

Buon Ma Thuot Coffee Festival in Buon Ma Thuot

Buon Ma Thuot Coffee Festival is a biennial event held in Buon Ma Thuot city, Dak Lak province, celebrating Vietnam's coffee industry, centered in the Central Highlands region that produces the highest coffee yield in the world.

In the basalt highlands of Dak Lak province, coffee is not simply an export crop but the defining feature of the regional economy, and Buon Ma Thuot, the province's capital and the largest city in Vietnam's Central Highlands, marks that identity every other year with a dedicated coffee festival.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Buon Ma Thuot sits at the heart of Dak Lak province, which has more than 175,000 officially recorded hectares under coffee cultivation, with actual planted area likely exceeding 200,000 hectares, and is recognized as having the highest coffee yield in the world, a scale that gives the festival direct grounding in the world's largest robusta-growing region

02

The mystery stays covered

Coffee was introduced to Vietnam as early as 1870, but widespread cultivation in Dak Lak began only in the 1930s under French administration, when the region's basalt soil proved especially suited to the crop, a history the festival's exhibitions and ceremonies draw on directly

03

The city starts moving

Vietnam ranks as the second-largest coffee exporter globally and the largest exporter of robusta coffee specifically, positioning the festival as a showcase for a crop central to the national economy, not just a regional specialty
