Vietnamese Robusta Green Coffee – What EU Buyers Need to Know in 2025

Looking to import Vietnamese Robusta green beans into the EU market? You're not alone — global demand for clean, traceable Robusta has never been higher, especially as we approach the EUDR enforcement deadline in 2026.

But here's the thing most exporters miss:
💡 EU buyers don’t just want good beans – they need compliant supply chains.

✅ Why Vietnamese Robusta Is a Smart Choice

• 🌍 World’s 2nd largest coffee exporter, Vietnam is renowned for bold, full-bodied Robusta beans.
• 📏 Available in multiple grades & screen sizes (S13–S18).
• 🎯 Standard grade Robusta is preferred for European blends.
• 🧃 High caffeine, perfect for instant, blends, and espresso base.

📋 New EU Regulations That Matter (RA + EUDR)

Rainforest Alliance (RA) certification
→ Increasingly requested by EU importers for sustainability assurance.

EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) – effective Jan 1, 2026
→ All green coffee must be:

• Traceable to the plot (geo-referenced data)
• From non-deforested land (post-2020)
• Documented with a Due Diligence Statement
