According to data from the General Department of Vietnam Customs, in the first nine months of 2025, Vietnam's coffee exports to the UK reached 28.3 thousand tons, worth 171.5 million USD, an increase of 24.2% in volume and 70% in value compared to the same period in 2024.
This result stems from a sharp increase in export coffee prices, which has helped domestic businesses expand their revenue and strengthen their position in the European market.
Statistics from the International Trade Centre (ITC) show that in the first seven months of 2025, the UK imported 130,500 tons of coffee, a decrease of 0.1% in volume but an increase of 43.8% in value compared to the same period last year.
Vietnam continues to hold the position of the second largest coffee supplier to the UK (after Brazil), while increasing its market share from 15% to 20%. In the first seven months of the year alone, the UK imported 25,600 tons of coffee from Vietnam, an increase of 28% in volume and 107% in value.
World coffee price update
At the close of trading on October 22, the price of robusta coffee futures for November 2025 delivery on the London exchange rose 1.19% (US$55/ton) compared to the previous trading session, reaching US$4,675/ton. The January 2026 contract increased 0.72% (US$33/ton), reaching US$4,607/ton.
Similarly, on the New York exchange, the price of Arabica coffee for December 2025 delivery continued to rise by 0.56% (2.3 US cents/lb) compared to the previous session, reaching 415.85 US cents/lb. The March 2026 contract increased by another 0.56% (2.2 US cents/lb), reaching 393.45 US cents/lb.
Experts believe that the recent surge in world coffee prices is primarily due to concerns about supply shortages in major producing countries. In Brazil, the most severe drought in over 70 years has seriously threatened the 2025-2026 crop yield.
In Vietnam, the new harvest has not yet fully begun, while inventories have dropped sharply due to continuously increasing exports. The Vietnam Coffee and Cocoa Association (Vicofa) said that this year's Robusta production may be lower than expected because prolonged hot weather has affected the flowering and fruiting process.
Another factor driving up coffee prices is the shift in consumption from Arabica to Robusta. As Arabica prices escalate, many international roasters have switched to cheaper Robusta, reducing raw material costs. This has led to a surge in demand for Robusta, particularly from Vietnam, amidst limited supply.
Besides supply and demand factors, rising coffee production costs are making it difficult for selling prices to decrease in the near future. The prices of fertilizers, labor, container shipping, and cargo insurance have all increased sharply compared to last year. Many coffee exporting businesses say that in order to maintain profitability, they are forced to adjust their selling prices accordingly.
