In Vietnam, the current weather conditions are causing concern for the upcoming coffee harvest. Forecasts indicate that from March 21st to 31st, the Central Highlands region will experience intense heat and low rainfall, directly impacting production.
The dry season has just begun, but many ponds and lakes in the Central Highlands have already dried up, leaving hundreds of hectares of crops without irrigation water. Coffee and pepper plants are starting to wither, the soil is cracking, and the prolonged drought is causing farmers to eagerly await the first rains of the season.
These harsh conditions could lead to a sharp decline in Robusta coffee production, and are a key factor in keeping Robusta prices high in the near future.
World coffee prices today
Coffee prices on the world market are also subject to many fluctuations:
Robusta coffee (London):
May 2025 delivery: Increased by $88/ton, to $5,587/ton.
July 2025 delivery: Increased by $79/ton, to $5,571/ton.
Arabica coffee (New York):
May 2025 delivery: Up 4.4 cents/lb, to 397.8 cents/lb.
July 2025 delivery: Up 4.6 cents/lb, to 392 cents/lb.
Arabica prices continue to rise due to concerns that extreme weather in Brazil could affect production. Besides weather factors, demand for high-quality coffee in major markets remains stable, driving Arabica prices to stay high.
Some traders are tending to take profits on Robusta to shift capital to Arabica. However, if the new crop in Brazil is favorable, Arabica prices could cool down. Meanwhile, Robusta coffee continues to be supported by strong demand in Asian countries.
Experts predict that both types of coffee will remain at high price levels due to declining inventories at exchanges and continued unpredictable weather.
In North America, concerns about tariff policies are also impacting the coffee market. Although the United States has not yet imposed tariffs on coffee imports from the Americas, many businesses have taken precautionary measures. Coffee companies in Mexico are shifting production to the United States and Canada to avoid being affected should tariff rates change in the future.
Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol shared that if a 25% tariff were implemented, they would have to quickly adjust to the situation. Bill Murray, president of the National Coffee Association of the United States, warned that if tariffs were increased on coffee from Brazil and other North American countries, American consumers would be the ones to suffer, as three-quarters of the US population consumes coffee daily.
