Domestic coffee prices ended their upward trend today, a logical development after a week of consecutive increases. The slight decrease allows the market to adjust and balance supply and demand.

Domestically, coffee supply is becoming increasingly scarce. According to data from the Customs Department, in July 2025, Vietnam exported 102,000 tons of coffee, worth US$555.8 million, a decrease of 13.6% in volume and 18% in value compared to the previous month. However, compared to the same period in 2024, the volume of coffee exported in July still increased by 33.1% and the value increased by 45.8%.

From the beginning of 2025, coffee exports peaked in March and then gradually declined, indicating that businesses took advantage of favorable prices to sell aggressively. The decline in July was due to depleted domestic supply and a rebound in domestic prices, causing many businesses to limit sales. In addition, escalating logistics costs also contributed to the decrease in export volume.

In the long term, coffee prices remain positively assessed due to stable global demand growth and limited supply. However, the market could still be affected by various factors such as unusual weather conditions, monetary policies of countries, and exchange rate fluctuations.

World coffee prices today

On the London exchange, online robusta coffee futures contracts for September 2025 delivery closed at $4896 per ton, up 0.62% ($30 per ton) from yesterday. The November 2025 contract fell 0.04% ($2 per ton), reaching $4648 per ton.

Meanwhile, on the New York Stock Exchange, the price of Arabica coffee for September 2025 delivery fell 2.55% (9.95 US cents/pound) compared to yesterday, to 380 US cents/pound. The December 2025 contract fell 2.54% (9.6 US cents/pound), to 368.15 US cents/pound.

According to a Bloomberg survey of brokers, exporters, and roasters, many US buyers of green coffee beans are limiting new contracts with Brazil. At the same time, Reuters data shows that the price of arabica coffee on the international market surged by more than 30% in August on the ICE exchange, primarily due to the US tariff increase.

The 2025 Arabica coffee supply situation in Brazil is entering its final stages, with production expected to decrease by approximately 10% compared to initial forecasts. Furthermore, frosts in some growing regions threaten to further reduce next year's production. These factors contributed to a more than 30% increase in Arabica coffee prices on the world market in August.

Faced with this situation, US importers were forced to shift to alternative sources of supply. Countries such as Colombia, Honduras, Guatemala, and Costa Rica became preferred destinations, even though their offered prices were higher than the futures prices on the ICE exchange. This presented an opportunity for these producing countries to expand their market share in the US market.

Europe also emerged as a major beneficiary, particularly Germany and Belgium. Many shipments of coffee from Brazil were brought in for processing, roasting, or blending before being re-exported to the US as EU goods, subject to lower tariffs. Simultaneously, hedge funds on the ICE exchange capitalized on the supply shortage and price volatility to increase trading activity, further intensifying the volatile coffee market.
