Driving Quality & Exellence
Coffee Selection Process

The Southeast Asia Green Coffee Competition showcases up to 10 Arabica and 10 Robusta coffees from each producing country, representing their best offerings. This year, coffees from Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam were selected through national competitions, while samples from the Philippines and Indonesia were submitted by local partners. Moving forward, each country plans to conduct national competitions or, at a minimum, evaluate and select coffees through ICPs.
