Coffee prices in the Central Highlands are expected to fall today, starting at 116,900 VND/kg. The main reason is the sharp drop in coffee prices on the London exchange at the beginning of the week, pressured by the US dollar and the strong rise in gold prices.
One notable point is that the price relationship between domestic and international coffee markets has reversed. Instead of being above the floor price as before, Vietnamese coffee prices in the new harvest are now trading at a lower level.
Currently, purchasing units typically base their prices on a floor price, then subtract various costs to calculate the purchase price in Vietnam.
Meanwhile, global markets are cautiously awaiting information on when the US government will resume operations after the budget impasse. On the supply side, the new harvest in Vietnam is underway amidst favorable weather conditions in both Vietnam and Brazil, with no unusual factors supporting a price increase.
