Nhuan said Algeria is now among the top 10 importers of Vietnam's raw coffee. Vietnamese coffee accounts for 30-50% of Algeria's total coffee import. For several years, coffee has also been Vietnam's biggest export item to Algeria, making up over 60% of Vietnam's total export revenue from this market.

This year’s export turnover is estimated at 125 million USD, marking a 47% increase from 2022.

Vietnamese raw coffee also has potential to expand its market share in other African countries, especially those in North Africa such as Egypt, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia, which want to import raw coffee and green coffee beans for roasting and processing to meet the taste of local consumers, increase added value while generating more jobs to local population.

He suggested that Vietnamese coffee exporters actively participate in trade promotion activities such as international fairs and exhibitions, online and offline trade conferences, and get the help from the Vietnamese Trade Offices in North African countries to seek partners and importers for the upcoming harvest season.
