ENHANCING ORGANIC COFFEE PROMOTION FOR EXPORT IN LAO PDR

초록/요약

Organic coffee is one of the significant trade commodity. It is a vital source of major export earnings from many developing countries. Premium price for organic coffee production can make an estimated different from 20-30 percent gain for farmers. However, these opportunities should be assessed from the perspective of broader market dynamics. The producers and exporters face constraints, particularly high certification costs and the lack of market information and marketing strategy are obstacles. This study aims to explain government policies and trade facilitation on enhancing organic coffee promotion for export in Lao PDR. It was found that the policy development for promotion of organic coffee product for export is not merely to increase higher income for farmers and producers, but also to achieve the government’s goal of rural development. Although some limitations do exist, the government’s promotional activities are considered to have a positive impact on organic coffee products for exports. This also reflects the Lao government’s political comments are willing to achieve a key National Development Goal of Rural Development plan.
