According to Mr. Thai Nhu Hiep, Vice President of the Vietnam Coffee and Cocoa Association (VICOFA), Brazil and Indonesia began their coffee harvest in May. Due to the excessively large production, the supply increased sharply, leading to a surplus in the market and consequently a rapid drop in coffee prices.
Previously, coffee prices had remained excessively high for a long period, so when the market corrected, the decline was even more significant. At the same time, roasters are currently limiting purchases and waiting for further price drops to establish a new price level.
The fact that supply is no longer scarce has caused market instability. Speculators on the exchange are rushing to short-sell and dump their holdings en masse, driving coffee prices down uncontrollably.

Despite market fluctuations, Vietnam's coffee export outlook for the last six months of the year remains positive. Key markets such as the European Union (EU) and the United States continue to be bright spots, especially given the tariff barriers faced by many other exporting countries.
Recently, US President Donald Trump unexpectedly announced an increase in import tariffs on goods from Brazil from 10% to 50%, effective August 1st. Several other major coffee exporting countries, such as Mexico, are also subject to a 30% tariff, while Canada faces a 35% tariff. In this context, Vietnam can take advantage of this opportunity to expand its market share and increase export turnover in the coming period.
