Vietnam is an oft-overlooked coffee producer but surprisingly ranks second in the world climbing from a 0.1% market share after the Vietnam War to a surprising 18.6% today. The vast majority of this coffee is commodity-grade Robusta used to produce instant coffee or to create low-quality blends. Vietnam is more of a tea-drinking country, though a Vietnamese Iced Coffee is a decadent delight worth the indulgence, making coffee a primary export and cash crop.
