Buôn Ma Thuột carries a registered coffee geographical indication and hosts a biennial coffee festival and the World Coffee Museum.
Buôn Ma Thuột is the administrative centre of Đắk Lắk province and one of the best-known names in Vietnamese coffee. Its coffee holds a geographical indication that Vietnam News Agency says accounts for over 30% of the country's coffee exports. The city hosts a national coffee festival every two years and the World Coffee Museum, and Trung Nguyên, one of Vietnam's leading coffee companies, is based there. In trade use the name often refers to coffee from the wider Đắk Lắk area rather than only the city.
