New coffee plants for farmers

The Viet Nam Coffee and Cocoa Association (VICOFA) has provided 88,000 coffee seedlings to the Central Highland provinces of Dak Lak and Gia Lai for replanting. Existing trees in the region are 20 to 30 years old and are starting to produce low yields. The area planted out covers about 100,000ha.
