According to research data, the model of intercropping coffee with durian can bring profits higher than pure planting from 131 - 232%; the remaining intercropping types give profits increased from 35 - 57%. Intercropping not only diversifies products, increases value on the same unit area but also helps limit risks from market fluctuations.
In addition to economic benefits, experts also pointed out the accompanying challenges, especially the competition for nutrients and water resources between crops and the risk of cross-spreading pests and diseases. To overcome this, specific technical solutions are also proposed such as: arranging reasonable planting density and spacing; selecting suitable, high-yielding crop varieties such as TR4, TR9 coffee, Ri6, Dona durian; applying balanced fertilization and watering processes for the entire crop system...

| Master Hoang Hai Long presented a report on the research results of intercropping models in coffee gardens. |
This event is one of the activities of the Coffee Industry Innovation Cluster - a collaborative initiative between Tay Nguyen University and the Australian National Research Organization (CSIRO) within the framework of the Aus4Innovation Program funded by the Australian Government.
The program aims to promote the sustainable development of the Vietnamese coffee industry through the application of innovative solutions.

Speaking at the sharing session, Dr. Phan Viet Ha, Deputy Director of WASI, emphasized: Innovation does not only come from scientists but also from farmers, who are directly involved in production. Through this forum, farmers are encouraged to boldly exchange practical experiences and difficulties in intercropping coffee trees, and learn from each other to develop a sustainable coffee industry.
