Robusta coffee supplies in Vietnam continue to be tight amid rising global tariff tensions, Reuters reported, adding to the difficulties as local farmers limit sales while trading activity in Indonesia is quiet due to the Eid al-Fitr holiday.
Vietnam currently faces reciprocal tariffs of up to 46% from the US, much higher than Brazil and Indonesia – two major competitors – which are charged 10% and 32% respectively. These high tariffs are raising concerns about rising costs for US importers.
Some traders are still fulfilling orders scheduled for May, but it is unclear whether shipments already in transit will be subject to the new tariffs. One European trader said the tariffs could add about $2,500 to the cost of a ton of Vietnamese coffee.
World coffee prices today
Coffee prices on the world market fell sharply on both exchanges:
Robusta Coffee (London):
Delivery in May 2025: Down 228 USD/ton, to 4884 USD/ton.
Delivery in July 2025: Down 240 USD/ton, to 4888 USD/ton.
Arabica Coffee (New York):
May 2025 delivery: Down 14.5 cents/lb, to 351.2 cents/lb.
July 2025 delivery: Down 14.1 cents/lb, to 349.2 cents/lb.
Coffee production in Brazil has also seen new developments. Consulting firm StoneX has just lowered its forecast for Brazil’s coffee production in the upcoming season, down 1.7% to 64.5 million bags.
The reason comes from the downward adjustment of arabica production, due to the adverse effects of weather in the states of São Paulo, Espírito Santo, Matas de Minas and Southern Minas Gerais. Arabica production is forecast at 38.7 million bags, lower than the previous forecast of 40 million bags.
In contrast, Brazil’s robusta output was revised up slightly to around 25.8 million bags. The new crop is expected to start in the middle of this month in robusta growing regions and accelerate from May. The global coffee market will therefore continue to closely monitor both production developments and tariff policies in the coming period.
