Nestlé Vietnam has announced a US$100 million investment to increase the production capacity of its Tri An coffee factory in the southern province of Đồng Nai, Vietnam.
The Nestlé Tri An factory currently exports coffee products from brands such as Nescafé, Nescafé Dolce Gusto and Starbucks to more than 29 countries.
Nestlé has invested more than US$500 million in this facility since 2011. It is the largest coffee buyer in Vietnam, with annual purchases reaching up to US$700 million.
The company’s sustainability program, Nescafé Plan, was implemented in Vietnam in the Central Highlands in 2011. It supports farmers transitioning to sustainable farming methods, helps rejuvenate coffee plots through the distribution of coffee platelets, and protects water resources and biodiversity.
Nestlé currently operates six factories in Vietnam that focus on the production of coffee, cocoa malt beverages, cooking aids, and water. The company employs approximately 3000 employees in Vietnam.
