Abstract: The study attempted to analyse costs and margins of smallholder farmers involved in the coffee value chain in Dak Lak province - the coffee capital of Vietnam. Data was collected through a survey and was assessed by applying M4P approach. ARIMA model was used for forecasting the costs and margins over time. The results revealed that coffee growing households receive the highest profits and create the highest value added in the chain. In the short-term, coffee farmers bear less price volatility risk than coffee manufacturing and exporting enterprises, but in the long-term, this risk will gradually shift from manufacturing and exporting companies to them.
