Known for
Vietnam's Central Highlands are best known for coffee, black pepper, fertile basaltic soils and large agricultural landscapes shaped by distinct wet and dry seasons.
Terroir
The Central Highlands form an elevated inland plateau with red basaltic soils and a pronounced seasonal climate. Warm days, cooler elevations and alternating wet and dry periods support coffee, pepper, tea and other perennial crops.
Cultivation
Smallholder farms are central to the region's agricultural economy, often combining coffee or pepper with shade trees and complementary crops. Water use, soil management and post-harvest handling are important quality factors and should be documented at supplier level.
