Accordingly, the group commenced construction of the Trung Nguyen Legend coffee plant while breaking ground on the expansion of its existing Trung Nguyen factory at Tan An 2 Industrial Cluster.

These ventures have a total capital of VND1.2 trillion ($46.15 million) in the first phase and a planned investment of nearly $38.46 million in the second phase. With the new investment, Trung Nguyen Legend brings its production system to five factories, including three factories in Dak Lak.

Covering an area of 4.9 hectares, the Trung Nguyen Legend coffee plant will be Southeast Asia's largest instant coffee production plant. In the first phase, the plant has a spray-drying capacity of 1,000 kg per hour.

The Trung Nguyen Legend coffee plant is designed to operate as an eco-friendly manufacturing facility in line with net-zero standards. It will feature cutting-edge technologies from Germany, Italy, and Denmark.

Meanwhile, the expansion of the Trung Nguyen factory spans 2.5 ha with an investment capital of $5.8 million. The initiative aims to enhance deep processing capabilities, meeting the raw material needs of the production system.

Under the plan, the entire coffee factory system will be put into operation in 2027. The project will elevate the position of Robusta Buon Ma Thuot coffee on a global stage, transforming Buon Ma Thuot into a global coffee processing hub.

The move marks a step forward for Trung Nguyen Legend to complete its coffee ecosystem in Dak Lak. It will bring Vietnamese coffee to penetrate the deep and refined processing chain and create higher value for Robusta Buon Ma Thuot coffee beans, boosting Vietnamese coffee's position on the international market.

According to Vietnam Customs, in the first five months of 2026, coffee exports reached 927,000 tonnes, with an export turnover of $4.23 billion. Key markets like Germany, Italy, the US, Japan, and China continue to register positive growth rates.
