Detech Coffee

Detech Coffee is a Vietnamese producer, processor, and exporter of Arabica coffee, operating on a vertically integrated "From farm to cup" business model. The company was founded in 2012 by a group including Ngoc Anh Dao, who now serves as Chairwoman. Her journey began after running a coffee shop in Hanoi and recognizing the challenge of sourcing high-quality domestic beans, which inspired her to improve the Vietnamese coffee supply chain.

The firm is headquartered in Hanoi with a wet mill in the Son La province and a dry processing factory in Hung Yen. Detech Coffee manages the entire production process, from cultivating its own coffee farms to partnering with a network of approximately 6,500 smallholder farmers, many of whom are from ethnic minority groups in the Son La region. The company provides these farmers with technical training and support to achieve international certifications like Rainforest Alliance and 4C, ensuring fair pricing and stable incomes. Revenue is generated through the sale of a diverse product portfolio that includes green coffee beans, roasted coffee, instant coffee, and single-serve drip bags.

Detech Coffee serves both domestic and international markets, exporting its products to countries such as the United States, Germany, China, and South Korea. Its clientele consists of multinational coffee brands, supermarket systems, and other businesses. In 2020, the company launched its own consumer-facing brand, Konnai Coffee, which includes a chain of cafes aimed at a younger demographic. A key differentiator for Detech is its commitment to sustainability and social impact. The company employs agroforestry techniques—intercropping coffee with fruit and lumber trees—to enhance biodiversity and reduce its carbon footprint. As a female-led enterprise, it actively promotes gender equality and co-founded the Vietnam Women in Coffee Alliance (IWCA Vietnam) in 2019 to improve livelihoods for disadvantaged women in the industry.
