On May 10, Hoang Anh Gia Lai Group, led by Doan Nguyen Duc, and the leadership of Champasak Province in Laos signed a memorandum of understanding to plant 5,000 hectares of coffee and support community development in the province. The signing ceremony was witnessed by the Lao Consul General in Da Nang, the Secretary of the Champasak Provincial Party Committee, and the Gia Lai Provincial People’s Committee.
Under the memorandum, Hoang Anh Gia Lai will invest in establishing a 5,000-hectare coffee raw material area and building a processing plant on the Bolaven Plateau. The project aims to produce high-quality coffee for export to global markets.
The initiative is also described as part of Hoang Anh Gia Lai’s plan to expand its total coffee raw-material area to more than 20,000 hectares across Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, with the goal of becoming a world-leading enterprise by planted area.
Hoang Anh Gia Lai has invested in Laos, Cambodia, and Thailand. The group is described as the second-largest enterprise in Vietnam in the agricultural production and processing sector, with a focus on fruit crops including bananas, jackfruit, mango, and durian.
Most recently, on March 29, Hoang Anh Gia Lai received an extension of a memorandum of understanding for a multi-cropping forestry project through a signing event between Gia Lai Province and four southern Lao provinces (Attapeu, Champasak, Salavan, and Sekong). The project is part of the company’s investment activities in Laos.
Hoang Anh Gia Lai is currently implementing five large-scale high-tech agriculture projects in Laos, with core products including fresh bananas, durian, coffee, and silkworm mulberry, concentrated in Attapeu and Champasak.
On the same day, Gia Lai authorities signed a memorandum of cooperation for 2026–2030 with northeastern Cambodian provinces. Mr. Doan Nguyen Duc, Chairman of Hoang Anh Gia Lai, signed a memorandum with Stung Treng to invest in a project to plant fruit trees and agro-forest crops on 1,918 hectares, with total project investment of nearly USD 29 million.
Hoang Anh Gia Lai is also described as a pioneer investor in agriculture in Cambodia. To date, the group has 3,000 hectares of banana, durian, and mulberry in the country.
In terms of business performance, Hoang Anh Gia Lai’s consolidated financial statements for Q1 2026 show net revenue of VND 1,784 billion. The fruit segment contributed VND 1,314.7 billion, up 32% year-on-year. Undistributed profit after tax in the first quarter stood at VND 2,663.1 billion.

According to the latest data from the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, in the first four months of this year Vietnam’s export value reached USD 3.6 billion, with coffee the highest-valued export commodity in the agricultural sector.
