Accordingly, the thematic exhibition “The history of world coffee” comprised three parts featuring three coffee civilizations through the over-12-century history of the world and Vietnamese coffee industry, namely Ottoman, Roman and Zen.
Nguyen Viet Dung, a visitor from Hanoi, shared that the exhibition gave him a better understanding of the history, the origin and the development of coffee industry, as well as coffee’s contribution to the economic development, among others.
