Speaking at the meeting, Viet emphasised the need for departments, agencies and localities to focus on building raw coffee growing areas associated with processing and consumption industries in a modern, sustainable and large-scale commodity production direction.

It is essential to apply science and technology to meet the demand for domestic and export coffee materials; improve land use efficiency and income for coffee growers; develop, maintain and protect the geographical indication "Son La coffee".
