Domestic coffee prices today
Domestic coffee prices today, August 16, 2025, in the Central Highlands region continued to increase to an unprecedented record, fluctuating between 114,000 - 115,000 VND/kg.
Accordingly, traders in the old Dak Nong region are purchasing coffee at the highest price of 115,000 VND/kg. Continuing to increase the record 3400 VND/kg compared to yesterday.

In Lam Dong province, coffee prices increased by 3,000 VND/kg compared to yesterday and are at 114,000 VND/kg.
Domestic coffee prices continue to climb to new records due to limited supply, adverse weather and strong global demand. Many experts predict that this upward trend may last until at least the third quarter of 2025, depending on the ability of production in Vietnam and Brazil to recover.
At the current price, some agents who bought at more than 130,000 VND/kg are hoping to get their capital back, while farmers said the price is equivalent to the time of harvest.
According to the Vietnam Commodity Exchange (MXV), domestic inventory is currently very low, making it difficult for businesses to collect goods according to signed contracts.
In the context of exports facing many trade barriers and tariffs, the coffee industry is under both pressure and opportunities. Enterprises need to be proactive and flexible in production and business to take advantage of every favorable moment and boost exports to potential markets.
World coffee prices today
On the London Stock Exchange, the online price of Robusta coffee futures for September 2025 delivery closed the trading session on August 15 at $4,174/ton, up 2.2% ($90/ton) from the previous session. However, the November 2025 futures contract increased by 2.61% ($103/ton) to $4,055/ton.
On the New York Stock Exchange, the price of Arabica coffee for September 2025 delivery increased sharply by 2.77% (9.05 US cents/pound) to 335.55 US cents/pound. The contract for December 2025 delivery increased by 2.68% (9.1 US cents/pound) to 327.8 US cents/pound.
Coffee prices continue to rise sharply, reaching their highest level in many months and higher than the same period last year. The reason is not only due to seasonal factors but also due to global supply and demand pressures. Supply is in serious shortage as coffee inventories in Vietnam have dropped to their lowest level in many years.
Adverse weather conditions are a major factor pushing up coffee prices. Drought, heat and pests are expected to cut Vietnam’s Robusta output by 20%. In Brazil, unseasonal rains and frost have also affected Arabica growing areas. These concerns have prompted importers to buy early to hedge against risks.
Rising shipping costs due to tensions in the Red Sea, along with the EU’s anti-deforestation regulation (EUDR), have made production more expensive. Meanwhile, demand from the EU, the US and Japan remains strong, especially as Vietnamese coffee is competitively priced. Global exchange rates and inflation also contribute to keeping prices high.
Coffee prices are forecast to continue rising until Q3/2025 due to limited supply and speculation. However, if Brazil and Vietnam’s output recovers strongly by the end of 2025, prices could fall 20-30% compared to current levels.
