Coffee prices surged on the day the US officially imposed reciprocal tariffs on the commodity, with tariffs of 50% on Brazil, 20% on Vietnam and 19% on Indonesia. Although it will take more time to assess the specific impact, this move has caused notable fluctuations in the international coffee market.
Although Vietnam does not export a large amount of coffee directly to the US (market share is less than 6%), the high tariffs imposed on Brazil may force US importers to look for other sources of supply, with Vietnam being a prominent choice thanks to its more competitive prices.
However, in July, many domestic enterprises lost market share to foreign-invested companies, including in the green coffee segment. FDI enterprises now account for 42.7% of total volume and 46.4% of total export turnover of green coffee, far exceeding the previous average market share of about 30%.
Louis Dreyfus Company Vietnam (LDC), a global corporation originating from Europe, has risen to the top with an export volume of over 12,000 tons of green coffee. Meanwhile, the names that once held the top positions such as Intimex, Vinh Hiep or Simexco Dak Lak only achieved an export volume of 5,400 to 9,400 tons.

Global trade tensions due to US tariffs continue to disrupt the flow of goods, including coffee. The US National Institute of Economic and Social Research forecasts that global GDP could fall by 1.1% if the new import tariff scenario persists.
Coffee trade between Brazil and the US is currently at a standstill after the US imposed import tariffs of up to 50%. However, shipments loaded in Brazil before August 6 will still be allowed to enter the US duty-free if they arrive before October 6, giving parties a last chance to make deliveries.
