On November 6–7, 2026, Headway participated in Vietnam Logistics Forum 2026, held in Quy Nhon Ward, Gia Lai Province, under the theme “Connecting Central Highlands Logistics to Global Supply Chains.” The event focused on discussing solutions to strengthen regional connectivity, address transportation bottlenecks, and enhance logistics capabilities across Central Vietnam and the Central Highlands.

Gia Lai – A Region with Strong Agricultural Export Potential

According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, Vietnam’s agricultural export turnover reached USD 32.65 billion in the first ten months of 2026, representing a 3.9% year-on-year increase. Of this total, fruit and vegetable exports accounted for USD 8.32 billion, coffee USD 7.09 billion, and cashew nuts USD 4.38 billion, reaffirming the strong potential of Vietnamese agricultural products in international markets.

With its favorable climate and distinctive basalt soil conditions, Gia Lai is one of the Central Highlands’ key agricultural production areas, renowned for coffee, pepper, rubber, bananas, durian, and passion fruit.

Alongside efforts to promote digitalization, standardize growing areas, and develop agricultural value chains, Gia Lai currently has more than 113,000 hectares of coffee plantations and over 8,900 hectares of durian-growing areas, with annual durian production estimated at more than 50,000 metric tons. Notably, the province's coffee export turnover exceeded USD 1.16 billion in the first nine months of 2026.

The expanding scale of agricultural production and exports not only highlights the potential of the Central Highlands but also underscores an urgent logistics challenge: how to optimize transportation, maintain proper storage conditions, and ensure seamless cold chain connectivity from production areas to international markets.

Logistics – A Key Link in the Agricultural Value Chain

As a landlocked region, agricultural products from the Central Highlands are primarily transported by road to export gateways along the South Central Coast and in Ho Chi Minh City. Long transportation distances, coupled with limitations in warehousing infrastructure and logistics facilities, increase operating costs, extend transit times, and potentially compromise cargo quality.

Therefore, agricultural supply chains need to be systematically coordinated and closely monitored throughout every stage, from collection and preliminary processing to warehousing, transportation, and distribution to international markets.

In particular, for perishable commodities such as bananas, durian, and passion fruit, maintaining an uninterrupted cold chain, controlling temperature conditions, and monitoring cargo movements throughout the journey are essential to preserving product quality, minimizing risks, and enhancing the value of agricultural exports.
