Gia Lai Robusta Coffee Farm of Mr. Tran Van Bang

Gia Lai Robusta Coffee Farm of Mr. Tran Van Bang is a young grafted Robusta farm in Nam Yang commune, Dak Doa district, Gia Lai province, in the Central Highlands of Vietnam.

The region
Gia Lai is one of the main Robusta provinces of Vietnam's Central Highlands, and its farmers are increasingly turning to fine Robusta, which is opening new export routes for the province's coffee.

Soil and climate
Like the rest of the Central Highlands, Gia Lai has a tropical monsoon climate, with a rainy season from around May to October and a dry season from November to April. Most coffee in the region grows on red-brown basalt soils, which are deep, loose and well drained. Coffee blossoms in March and April, and the cherries ripen in the dry months at the end of the year.

Trees and variety
The trees combine two Robusta lines: TR4 rootstock grafted with the Thien Truong variety. Around 200 trees were planted in April 2025 and are now giving their first harvest. TR4, used here as the rootstock, is one of the high-yielding Robusta clones bred by the Western Highlands Agriculture and Forestry Science Institute (WASI).

The land
Black pepper vines are intercropped through the farm and serve as shade for the coffee.

Grading
The beans are sorted to screen 16–18.
