Vietnamese Specialty Coffee Company Expands Deforestation-Free Exports To The US – CoffeeTalk
Vietnamese specialty coffee company MISS EDE has announced the export of two additional containers of sustainably sourced coffee to the US, with shipments expected to be completed in the second quarter. The latest shipment includes 24,000 packs of roasted coffee and 18,000 packs of whole coffee beans, produced under stringent sustainability standards that meet the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). This compliance ensures the coffee is traceable, deforestation-free, and sourced from sustainable farms, a key requirement for entering demanding markets like the U.S. and the EU. The robusta coffee beans used in these products are cultivated in non-deforested areas by Simexco Dak Lak Company, reinforcing MISS EDE’s commitment to environmental sustainability.
This expansion builds upon MISS EDE’s initial success in the U.S. market, where its first 18,000-pack shipment was well received and quickly gained shelf space in supermarkets. MISS EDE has also signed a five-year cooperation agreement with Simexco Dak Lak, ensuring its coffee supply chain meets international 4C, Fairtrade, and Rainforest Alliance sustainability standards. The incorporation of EUDR certification further aligns its production with EU anti-deforestation policies. Beyond the U.S. market, MISS EDE is expanding into South Korea, where it has partnered with The Nanum Trading to distribute its coffee and chocolate products and introduce Korean health beverages to Vietnam.
