Transforming coffee and water use in the Central Highlands of Vietnam: case study from Dak Lak Province (2020)
There is growing business interest in such transition to reduce the risk of farmers abandoning coffee
altogether under conditions in increasing weather variability, thereby threatening supply chains, and to
ensure compliance with increasingly strict international regulations on pesticide residues.
Building on the 2019 assessment, the objective of this assignment is to prepare a BRIDGE strategy to
directly engage businesses and national and provincial governments in a process to transition coffee
production out of coffee monocultures into diverse, higher value, and water saving diversified farming.
BRIDGE’s role in this transition is intended to be catalytic.
