World coffee prices today
Coffee prices on the world market also fluctuate:
Robusta Coffee (London):
Delivery March 2025: Down 13 USD/ton, to 4,966 USD/ton.
Delivery in May 2025: Down 12 USD/ton, to 4,879 USD/ton.

May 2025 delivery: Up 5.1 cents/lb, to 319.8 cents/lb.
Dry weather in Brazil has supported arabica coffee prices, after the Somar Meteorologia agency reported earlier this week that Brazil's largest arabica coffee growing region, Minas Gerais, received 62.5 mm of rain last week, equivalent to 86% of the historical average.
“Although weather conditions in Brazil have improved with sufficient rainfall, the supply outlook remains tight in 2025,” BMI said.
Meanwhile, robusta coffee is under downward pressure as qualified inventories begin to increase. According to I & M Smith, Vietnam - the world's largest producer and exporter of robusta coffee, is accelerating the pace of harvesting, processing and shipping coffee in the domestic market.
Coffee deliveries are expected to gradually increase at the key robusta coffee export port in Ho Chi Minh City over the next two weeks, ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday, when trade activities are expected to come to a halt.
