Idea
How did the founder think of the idea?
The Highland region of Vietnam is one of the world's "top 10" best environments, combining
the right altitudes, soils, natural drying conditions, and temperatures for producing the finest of
gourmet coffees. Yet the region was not controlling its own destiny to produce these once
sought-after coffees.
The owners of Trung Nguyen saw that the future for producing gourmet coffee and being
reasonably independent of the world commodity markets was to once again follow the best
possible growing and processing techniques to produce a world-class coffee, and carry it
through all the way to the packaged product.
At that time, Vietnam had risen once again to be one of the leading coffee producers in the
world, but almost solely producing "green" coffee (unroasted beans) that were sold on the
commodity market. This resulted in no control over the final coffee quality or prices.
