Domestic coffee prices today, August 14, 2025, in the Central Highlands region continued to increase, fluctuating between 107,300 - 108,200 VND/kg.

After falling below VND90,000/kg last month, domestic coffee prices have rebounded sharply. As of August 14, Central Highlands farmers were selling raw coffee beans at VND107,300-108,200/kg, 22.2% higher than the 16-month low of VND88,000-88,500/kg.

The increase in coffee prices is a positive signal for growers, but it puts pressure on capital for businesses as the new harvest season is about to begin. High prices mean increased purchasing costs, affecting the financial plans of many exporters.

According to the Chairman of the Vietnam Coffee and Cocoa Association (VICOFA), in 2025, exports are expected to reach 1.5 million tons with a turnover of about 7.5 billion USD. The value added tax that businesses must pay is estimated at about 370 million USD (more than 10,000 billion VND), and in the second half of 2025 alone, it is about 5,000 billion VND.

Having to pay this large amount of tax in advance not only puts pressure on cash flow but also poses risks if the tax is not refunded due to a third party's fault. Therefore, VICOFA proposes that the authorities include green coffee beans in the list of non-taxable items and exempt them from declaring and paying taxes in the commercial stages.

This result was achieved thanks to the average export price of coffee in the first 7 months reaching 5,676 USD/ton, up 53.5% over the same period last year. In July alone, the average coffee price was 5,450 USD/ton, down 5.2% compared to June but still 9.5% higher than the same period in 2024.

The Import-Export Department said that exports set a record thanks to a sharp increase in world coffee prices due to a narrowing global supply, along with a recovery in demand from the EU, US, Japan, South Korea, China, etc. In addition, domestic enterprises have stepped up investment in processing technology, traceability, and taken advantage of FTAs ​​such as EVFTA, UKVFTA, and CPTPP, helping to increase value and expand the market.
