The seventh Buon Ma Thuot coffee festival will be held in March in the Central Highlands province of Dak Lak with a wide range of activities featuring local specialties, including locally produced coffee beans.
For the past few years, the province has been promoting and publicising its coffee beans with GI certification worldwide, which has led to a rise in its coffee exports.
The sixth Buon Ma Thuot Coffee and Central Highlands Gong Festival, held March 8-13, will further promote Vietnamese coffee as a brand and celebrate the region’s indigenous culture.
Around 200 local and foreign businesses will take part in the fifth Buon

Ma Thuot coffee.

Adjudication Board has decided to cancel the "Buon Ma Thuot Coffee"
trademark registered by Guangzhou Buon Ma Thuot Coffee Co.
