  „Coffee prices on the world market average US$1.10 a kilogram, while production cost is around $1.76. "The worst may be over for embattled coffee growers like us, with prices finally rising off record lows," said Nguyen Trong, owner of nearly 20 hectares [49 acres] of coffee plantation in Daklak province in the country's central highlands. "The surging prices are due to the increase of coffee prices in the world market and the decrease of the country's coffee output," said the chairman of the Vietnam Coffee and Cocoa Association, Doan Trieu Nhan. Nhan added this could be seen as an early sign that Oxfam's campaign is working.“

The auctions were held throughout the year and equal amounts of coffee were auctioned each month. Private exporters bought the coffee at the auction and sold green bean to international trade houses and roasters.“
