Buôn Ma Thuột – the capital of Vietnam’s Central Highlands and the traditional heartland of the country’s coffee culture.
Buôn Ma Thuột and the surrounding Đắk Lắk region, shaped by fertile volcanic soil, represent a different side of Vietnam.
Far removed from the pace of Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi, the Central Highlands follow a different rhythm – but not a lesser one. People here work just as hard to contribute to the country’s long-term prosperity.
Coffee, cacao, and other agricultural crops play a fundamental role in Vietnam’s food supply and export economy, while providing stable livelihoods for rural communities in Đắk Lắk.
Đắk Lắk’s per-capita income has historically sat below Vietnam’s national average, reflecting its rural, agriculture-heavy structure and distance from coastal trade hubs and major industrial centers. That said, over the past three decades incomes have risen steadily in line with national growth, with the gap narrowing gradually as agricultural productivity, infrastructure, and regional integration into Vietnam’s broader economy have improved.
Recent infrastructure upgrades are accelerating that trend: the expanded Buôn Ma Thuột airport, improved road links to the coast, and faster logistics routes are materially reducing friction for exporting agricultural commodities and specialty goods. Combined with the 2025 provincial reorganization granting Đắk Lắk direct sea access, the region is structurally better positioned than ever to translate production strength into higher incomes and long-term economic prosperity.
