Coffee prices continued their downward trend, mainly due to slow trading activity and increased supplies from other major robusta producers such as Brazil and Indonesia. According to Reuters, traders said that although the current production from these two countries is not really abundant, the harvesting process has started and supplies will continue to increase in the coming time.
World coffee prices today
Coffee prices on the world market fell sharply last week on two exchanges:
On the London Stock Exchange, the online price of robusta coffee for July 2025 delivery closed last week at $4,790/ton, down 1.5% ($75/ton) from the previous week; the September delivery contract fell 1.5% ($74/ton), reaching $4,786/ton.
On the New York Stock Exchange, the price of Arabica coffee for delivery in July 2025 decreased by 1.3% (4.6 cents/lb) last week, down to 361 cents/lb; the contract for delivery in September 2025 decreased by 1% (3.8 cents/lb), down to 358.7 cents/lb.
Data from Hedgepoint Global Markets shows that the robusta harvest in Brazil has progressed to about 11%. Meanwhile, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) forecasts that coffee production in Vietnam and Indonesia will increase in the 2025-2026 crop year. Specifically, Vietnam may reach an output of 31 million bags (60 kg), of which robusta accounts for 30 million bags. The increase in coffee production is believed to be to take advantage of the previous high prices.
In the export market, Vietnam’s grade 2 robusta (5% black and broken) is being offered at a premium of $50-70 per tonne over the July contract on LIFFE. Meanwhile, in Indonesia, Sumatra robusta is now being offered at the same price as the June contract, compared to a $20 discount over the May contract last week, adjusting for the downward trend on the London exchange.
Another trader said the discount to the July contract is now only $30, narrowing significantly from last week’s $70, due to the weakening dollar while domestic coffee prices remain relatively stable.
