Going to the Central Highlands, I heard many people mention the phrase: "Soldier's coffee - for community life", but it was not until I talked with Lieutenant Colonel Le Trung Thanh, Director of Coffee 15 LLC, that I clearly understood the reason...

From the policy of the Party Committee and the Board of Directors of the Company is to exploit local raw materials and cooperate to develop a sustainable coffee industry, to ensure jobs, stable income for workers and community health, the Company focuses on exploiting and producing using organic methods to create a clean and civilized agricultural production area. As an economic - defense unit, the development of organic coffee shows that the Company not only attaches importance to economic issues but also takes the lead in humane and modern development trends. Organic coffee cultivation is accompanied by specialized technical support projects, helping ethnic minorities improve their knowledge and stabilize production.

Staff of Coffee 15 Company Limited instruct people on how to take care of coffee trees.

According to Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Van Hoai, Head of the Company's Business Planning Department, organic coffee always has a much higher added value than traditional coffee, easily accessing demanding markets (EU, US, Japan) with higher profit margins, creating a stable financial source for the Company to reinvest and carry out social security tasks.

In fact, developing organic coffee not only saves input costs but also contributes to protecting the health of workers and the community. Workers and people directly involved in production do not have to come into contact with toxic chemicals, making an important contribution to improving public health and reducing medical costs. On the other hand, developing organic coffee helps restore soil fertility, minimize water pollution and preserve biodiversity, in line with the green and sustainable development orientation of the country and the region. Thanks to the strict management and effective exploitation of defense land, production land and assigned project land, in 2025, the Company's production value will reach 250 billion VND, revenue will reach 262 billion VND, reaching 152% of the yearly plan, profit will reach 27.8 billion VND, average income of workers will reach 16.7 million VND/month.

The reason for the name "soldier coffee" is because the monthly birthdays of cadres, soldiers, workers, retired soldiers... all have gift bags of coffee products. Not only that, every time the traditional New Year of the nation comes, the working delegations of Military Region 5 visiting Truong Sa archipelago all give gift bags containing the Company's coffee products, packaged very solemnly and beautifully. It is truly precious, because those gift packages are imbued with the "soldier coffee" brand.
