Coffee price today 8/22/2025: 3-digit increase

Domestic coffee prices today

Domestic coffee prices today, August 22, 2025, in the Central Highlands region continued to increase slightly compared to yesterday, fluctuating between 122,600 - 123,200 VND/kg.

Accordingly, traders in the old Dak Nong region are purchasing coffee at the highest price of 123,200 VND/kg. A slight increase of 1,300 VND/kg compared to yesterday.

Similarly, coffee prices in Dak Lak province are at 123,000 VND/kg, an increase of 1,300 VND/kg compared to yesterday.

Coffee prices in Gia Lai province increased by VND1,200/kg compared to yesterday and were traded at VND122,700/kg.

In Lam Dong province, coffee prices increased by VND1,600/kg compared to yesterday and are at VND122,600/kg.

Domestic coffee prices are still higher than international futures prices because Vietnam is entering the end of the season, and there is not much coffee left in the hands of farmers. This scarcity of supply allows the domestic market to maintain a high price level.

In addition, the export prices of enterprises are also high due to many contracts signed in advance. Therefore, the difference between domestic coffee prices and coffee futures prices on the two exchanges is not considered unusual, but reflects the actual situation of the market.

On the international front, Brazil is reducing its exports due to the impact of US tariffs. This factor inadvertently creates more opportunities for Vietnamese coffee to increase prices and maintain its competitive position in the global market.

On the demand side, besides the traditional Chinese market, India is increasingly consuming more coffee. A representative of Continental Coffee Limited (CCL) predicts that the coffee market in India will double in the next 5 to 10 years, mainly due to the coffee drinking habits of young people. The possibility that India will have to increase imports to meet domestic demand and serve export processing is very clear.

World coffee prices today

Recently, world coffee prices have increased sharply, but the domestic price has increased more slowly. According to experts and businesses, the reason is that domestic coffee prices were previously higher than world prices, so the market is adjusting to return to a state of balance.

This price increase has surprised many people with many years of experience in the industry. Mr. Nguyen Nam Hai, Chairman of the Vietnam Coffee and Cocoa Association (VICOFA), analyzed: many factors simultaneously affect coffee prices, including unfavorable weather in Brazil, 50% reciprocal tax in Brazil, and the EU's anti-deforestation traceability regulation (EUDR) coming into effect. These events occurred at a time when global supply was lower than demand, causing strong psychological impacts and causing coffee prices to fluctuate violently.

Mr. Do Ha Nam, Chairman of Intimex Group, said: Although no one can accurately predict market developments, according to analysis, the sharp increase in coffee prices on the London floor is due to a shortage of supply. Importers cannot buy enough goods from outside, so they have to increase transactions on the floor, causing prices to escalate.

Another reason is that the EU market is gradually shifting to choosing goods that meet EUDR standards, when this regulation is officially applied from the beginning of 2026. This further increases pressure on global supply and contributes to pushing up coffee prices.
