The coffee industry in Vietnam faces significant challenges, particularly in adopting modern technologies for production. With 95% of coffee cultivated by small-scale farmers, many are struggling with low productivity, market volatility, and limited access to advanced technologies, which has led to widespread uprooting of coffee trees. This research aims to explore the key barriers faced by small-scale coffee farmers and propose a cooperative model that integrates Data and Blockchain technologies to enhance production efficiency and business practices. To achieve this, we conducted semi-structured interviews and surveys with coffee farmers, using descriptive statistics and qualitative analysis to identify critical challenges and the role of government policies in shaping the industry. The proposed solution involves the creation of a cooperative network leveraging Blockchain and Data technologies to improve the sustainability, traceability, and profitability of coffee production and distribution.
