World coffee prices today
Coffee prices on the world market fell sharply on both exchanges:
At the end of last week, the online price of Robusta coffee for May 2025 delivery on the London Stock Exchange stood at 5,112 USD/ton, down 4.2% (225 USD/ton) compared to the previous trading session; the July 2025 delivery contract fell 4.7% (249 USD/ton), reaching 5,105 USD/ton.
On the New York Stock Exchange, the price of Arabica coffee for delivery in May 2025 decreased by 3.8% (14.3 US cents/pound) last week, down to 365.7 US cents/pound; the contract for delivery in July 2025 decreased by 3.5% (13.1 US cents/pound), down to 363.3 US cents/pound.
World coffee prices are falling sharply due to investors' risk-off sentiment in the face of President Donald Trump's new tariff policy. This move has severely affected the asset market in general and coffee in particular.
New tariffs on imports from several major coffee-producing countries have sent shockwaves. Brazil and Colombia are facing a 10% tariff, while goods from Vietnam—including coffee—are facing a 46% tariff. These tariffs have pushed up import costs, putting particular pressure on food companies like Starbucks and Mondelēz. Starbucks shares fell more than 11% on the news.
Notably, the U.S. produces only about 0.2% of the coffee consumed domestically, mostly in Hawaii. The rest of the supply relies on imports, so higher tariffs will do little to stimulate domestic production. On the contrary, they may reduce consumer demand by forcing retail prices of coffee and chocolate to rise.
The coffee market is also seeing a correction after a long period of strong price increases. Some investors and large buyers see this as an opportunity to counter the recent surge.
In addition to tax policy, the market is also being affected by forecasts of supply shortages. Forecasts show that global coffee production could be in deficit for the fourth consecutive year, due to lower output in Vietnam and Brazil. In Vietnam, despite lower output, high export prices could help total turnover in the 2024/25 crop year reach $5 to $6 billion.
The sharp drop in coffee prices is considered a temporary reaction to psychological factors, not due to changes in actual supply and demand. In the context that the US cannot produce coffee itself but is the leading consumer, the business community believes that coffee prices will soon recover when the market returns to fundamental factors.
