According to the most recent IPCC report, changes in climates over the last 30 years have already reduced global agricultural production in the range 1-5 % per decade globally, with particularly negative effects for tropical cereal crops such as maize and rice (Porter et al., 2014). In addition, there is now mounting evidence suggesting that even at low (+2 ºC) levels of warming, agricultural productivity is likely to decline across the globe, but particularly across tropical areas (Challinor et al., 2014).

With annual exports of around one million tons, worth USD 1.7 billion and representing approximately 14% of global coffee production in 2010, Vietnam today ranks as the world‟s second largest coffee producer. Since 1999, the country has been the world‟s largest exporter of Robusta coffee with approximately 500,000 rural households deriving most of their farming income from coffee production. 1 The sector is characterized by an extremely competitive environment with growers receiving around 95% of the FOB value.
