Đắk Nông names coffee, alongside pepper and rubber, as its most important products, on a plateau around 500m up.
Đắk Nông, about 500 m above sea level, listed coffee, pepper and rubber as its most important products, like neighbouring Đắk Lắk. Vietnam Coffee Source describes it as a major, expanding robusta supply region whose robusta can offer body, bitterness and intensity for espresso and dark-roast blends. It was merged into Lâm Đồng under a National Assembly resolution of 12 June 2025, and the merged province's government began work on 1 July 2025. Its name means 'river of the Mnong' in the Mnong language.
