In Vietnam, coffee prices rose last week, following the upward trend of robusta prices on the London exchange, although traders said domestic trading activity was relatively quiet ahead of the week-long Lunar New Year holiday.
Vietnamese export businesses are also on Tet holiday, so the supply of coffee from Vietnam continues to be disrupted, causing prices to remain stable and trend upwards.
"From now until May 2025, when Brazil enters its harvest season, global buyers will still depend on coffee supplies from Vietnam, so coffee prices will remain at a good level," Mr. Do Ha Nam commented.
World coffee prices today
Coffee prices on the world market are also subject to many fluctuations:
Robusta coffee (London):
March 2025 delivery: Increased by $62/ton, to $5,544/ton.
May 2025 delivery: Increased by $76/ton, to $5,499/ton.
Arabica coffee (New York):
March 2025 delivery: Up 3.6 cents/lb, to 347.55 cents/lb.
May 2025 delivery: Up 2.95 cents/lb, to 343.05 cents/lb.
Robusta coffee futures for March 2025 have risen for six consecutive trading sessions, totaling a 13.4% increase ($655/ton). Currently, the price of near-term robusta coffee futures is only $21/ton below the record high of $5,565/ton reached at the end of November last year.
Persistent concerns about global coffee supply are supporting prices and driving buying activity from investment funds.
The strengthening of the Brazilian Real also supported coffee prices after the real rose to its highest level in nearly two months against the US dollar on Friday (January 24). A stronger real reduces the incentive for Brazilian coffee producers to export.
Reuters reported that traders said lingering anxieties in the coffee sector persisted after record high prices, compounded by low global inventories and unresolved supply chain issues.
According to a Brazilian broker, new estimates of the country's output are about to be released by trading firms, while Commerzbank noted that concerns about supply shortages appear to be "somewhat exaggerated".
