World coffee prices today
Coffee prices on the world market also fluctuate:
Robusta Coffee (London):
Delivery in March 2025: Down 46 USD/ton, to 5,330 USD/ton.
Delivery in May 2025: Down 47 USD/ton, to 5,290 USD/ton.
Arabica Coffee (New York):
March 2025 delivery: Down 0.55 cent/lb, to 373.05 cent/lb.
May 2025 delivery: Unchanged at 364.75 cents/lb.
Arabica coffee prices fell sharply last week, mainly due to rising inventories on the ICE exchange. Meanwhile, Robusta coffee prices, despite falling sharply at the beginning of the week, still closed above $5,000/ton. This shows that Robusta supply is having problems, preventing prices from falling even though the harvest has just ended.
Brazil’s drought continues to raise concerns about the coffee crop. Minas Gerais, Brazil’s largest Arabica growing region, received just 12.4 mm of rain last week, or 20% of its historical average, according to the meteorological agency Somar Meteorologia. This could support coffee prices in the near term.
According to experts, coffee prices may continue to decline slightly in the short term due to the remaining pressure on supply. The latest forecast shows that Robusta prices may fall by another $100-150 per ton if buying power does not return soon.
In the medium term, the market could recover in April when Brazil enters its new harvest, which is typically a time when coffee prices see a slight upward adjustment due to increased demand from roasters.
However, the market still has many potential risks in the context of an unstable global economy. According to a survey by Reuters, Arabica coffee prices could fall by about 30% by the end of 2025, to $6,200/ton.
