Introduction

Southeast Asia Green Coffee Competition

You might have come across some mentions of the Southeast Asia Green Coffee Competition on social media, but do you know why these competitions are so significant? They provide market linkages for coffee growers, giving them greater exposure to global markets. This competition, in particular, promotes Southeast Asia as a producer of high-quality Arabica and Robusta coffees while fostering collaboration and development across the region.

The Southeast Asia Green Coffee Competition showcases up to 10 Arabica and 10 Robusta coffees from each producing country, representing their best offerings. This year, coffees from Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam were selected through national competitions, while samples from the Philippines and Indonesia were submitted by local partners.
