The drop in coffee prices is not surprising because no commodity can increase in price forever, especially agricultural products, and investors are taking profits after reaching their expected returns.
Information from the General Statistics Office of Vietnam showing that Vietnam's Robusta coffee exports in January 2025 increased by 6.3% compared to the previous month, reaching 134,000 tons, has somewhat cooled down the price of this type of coffee.
World coffee prices today
Coffee prices on the world market are also subject to many fluctuations:
Robusta coffee (London):
Delivery in March 2025: Decreased by $59/ton, to $5,735/ton.
Delivery in May 2025: Decreased by $62/ton, to $5,726/ton.
Arabica coffee (New York):
March 2025 delivery: Down 19.15 cents/lb, to 419.75 cents/lb.
May 2025 delivery: Down 17.7 cents/lb, to 407.4 cents/lb.
Arabica coffee prices have fallen sharply in the past week as investors aggressively take profits after prices repeatedly reached historical highs. Some experts believe that forecasts of a slight increase in Brazil's new crop in 2026 are also contributing to the price drop.
Global coffee supply shortages have driven prices to record highs, putting pressure on some traders and commodities merchants. They risk being affected if farmers are unable to deliver the quantities they contracted for, and also face financial risks due to soaring coffee futures prices.
According to a Reuters survey, Arabica prices could fall by around 30% by the end of 2025, as high prices impact consumer demand. At the same time, Brazil's coffee production in the 2025/26 crop year is projected to reach 40.55 million bags, down from the previous year but still sufficient to ensure supply.
Vietnam and Brazil are showing signs of increasing Robusta exports, putting pressure on the price of this type of coffee. Some traders predict that Robusta prices could reach $4,200 per ton by the end of 2025, a decrease of about 28% from the current level.
