From the end of July, domestic coffee prices continued their slight upward trend due to scarce domestic supply while export demand increased. In August, the upward trend became more pronounced, with prices fluctuating between 122,700 and 123,400 VND/kg by August 23rd.

In just over a month, domestic coffee prices have recovered nearly 30% from their year-low recorded in July. This strong recovery has created positive expectations for farmers and businesses in the industry.

According to experts, coffee prices are likely to remain stable or increase slightly from now until the end of the year due to improving global demand and tight supply. Businesses are advised not to sell off their stock in large quantities in order to take advantage of favorable prices.

In the long term, expanding coffee cultivation area is difficult because farmers have switched to high-value fruit crops. The industry needs to focus on improving productivity, investing in deep processing, and developing high-value products to maintain its competitive advantage.

World coffee prices today

On the London exchange, online robusta coffee futures contracts for September 2025 closed yesterday at $4,870 per ton, up 2.35% ($112 per ton) from yesterday. The November 2025 contract rose 2.59% ($117 per ton), reaching $4,637 per ton.

Meanwhile, on the New York Stock Exchange, the price of Arabica coffee for September 2025 delivery rose 3.66% (13.75 US cents/pound) compared to yesterday, reaching 389 US cents/pound. The December 2025 contract increased 3.41% (12.45 US cents/pound), reaching 377.45 US cents/pound.

On the world market, coffee prices have fluctuated sharply recently. July saw a downward trend due to the rapid harvesting process and forecasts of abundant supply. However, immediately after US President Donald Trump announced tariffs on Brazilian coffee, coffee prices rebounded.

For two consecutive weeks, world coffee prices have maintained a strong upward trend. Arabica reached its highest level in three months, while Robusta hit its peak in nearly three months. Concerns about unfavorable weather in Brazil also prompted investors to increase their purchases of futures contracts, contributing to the price increase.

According to experts, US tax policy is a crucial factor affecting prices. If the US tightens imports from Brazil, supply pressure will shift to countries like Vietnam, giving domestic coffee prices a chance to rise.

The US coffee industry is still monitoring developments in tariff negotiations. Cecafe President Marcio Ferreira said that US businesses currently have enough inventory to last 30-60 days, allowing them to wait before making a new decision. In addition, unfavorable weather conditions in Brazil during the flowering stage are further reinforcing the upward trend in global coffee prices.
