1.Simon咖啡之旅的最后一站来到了胡志明市——越南最大、最现代化的城市。这里是越南大多数咖啡豆的输送目的地，一座规模庞大的雀巢咖啡工厂和仓库就建在这里。在越南，一大部分咖啡豆最终都会被送到雀巢工厂制成速溶咖啡。
2.尽管越南是全球最大的咖啡生产国之一，但越南的咖啡并不受到世界顶级咖啡连锁店（例如星巴克）的推崇。越南的咖啡种植侧重于产量而非质量，因此出产的都是一些廉价的咖啡。多种迹象都在表明，越南咖啡产业的前景十分堪忧，甚至再不采取措施就可能面临全然溃败。为了寻求长期的发展，产品转型升级和经济结构多样化已经迫在眉睫。

Simon’s coffee trail ends up with the city Ho Chi Minh, the biggest and most modern city of Vietnam. Ho Chi Minh is the destination of many of Vietnam’s coffee beans. And a large-scale Nestle factory and warehouse is located here. In Vietnam, a large proportion of coffee beans are sent here and made into instant coffee.Although Vietnam is one of the largest coffee producers, Vietnam’s coffee is not actually promoted and marketed by world’s top coffee chains (like Starbucks). In terms of the coffee industry here, people are aiming for quantity, rather than quality, so they are mainly producing cheap instant coffee. A lot of signs are indicating that the future of Vietnam’s coffee industry is facing great challenges and even complete failure, if they don’t take any solutions. The country has to upgrade their coffee planting and diversify their economy in order to seek long-term development.
