Today, July 27, 2026, the prevailing price for coffee is 95,300–96,000 VND/kg. Compared to last week, the purchase price in the Central Highlands has decreased by approximately 1,900 VND/kg as the international market has uniformly declined.

Domestic coffee prices have fallen below 97,000 VND/kg.

After remaining above 97,000 VND/kg for some time, coffee prices in the Central Highlands have fallen to around 95,000 VND/kg on July 27th. The difference in purchase prices between localities is currently not significant, only about 700 VND/kg.

The highest price continues to be found in the former Dak Nong area, now part of Lam Dong province, at 96,000 VND/kg. Dak Lak and Gia Lai both maintain a price of 95,800 VND/kg, 200 VND/kg lower than the leading region.

In the Lam Dong region, coffee was previously purchased at 95,300 VND/kg. This was the lowest price among the localities whose prices were recorded.

With prices ranging from 95,300–96,000 VND/kg, the market is currently about 1,900 VND/kg lower than last week's level of 97,200–97,900 VND/kg. This decline occurred after both international coffee exchanges faced strong selling pressure.

Prices are falling, but domestic trading volume hasn't increased significantly. Farmers are limiting sales due to limited end-of-season supplies, while export businesses remain cautious given the unfavorable developments in world prices.

Robusta and Arabica coffee prices continue their downward trend.

The London exchange recorded the sharpest decline in the September 2026 robusta contract. This contract lost $120/tonne, equivalent to 3.1%, falling to $3,757/tonne.

The November 2026 contract also fell significantly, losing $91/ton to $3,738/ton. The continuous decline in robusta prices has left the domestic market lacking momentum for recovery, despite shrinking supply in Vietnam.

In New York, the September 2026 arabica contract fell 6.5 US cents per pound to 313.8 US cents per pound. The December 2026 contract lost 5.8 US cents per pound to 298.05 US cents per pound.

The similar trend on both exchanges has led to cautious international trading activity. The market is awaiting further information on new crop yields and harvesting progress in key producing countries.

The market is quiet towards the end of the season.

Coffee purchasing activity in Vietnam is slowing down as the 2025-2026 crop year draws to a close. While farmers no longer have large inventories, demand from export businesses has not increased correspondingly.

The price of green coffee beans in the Central Highlands is currently equivalent to approximately 3.65–3.68 USD/kg. Although supply is scarcer than in the middle of the harvest season, weak buying demand is preventing the market from reversing its trend.

Some traders said that businesses are currently mainly buying enough to fulfill existing orders, rather than increasing reserves. Farmers are also reluctant to sell aggressively now that prices have fallen below 97,000 VND/kg.

For export, Vietnamese robusta coffee grade 2, with a maximum of 5% black and broken beans, is being offered at approximately $60–80/ton lower than the September contract on the London exchange.

The relatively deep discounts reflect the lack of strong import demand. Buyers are still waiting for more stable prices before signing new delivery contracts.

Coffee prices do not yet have many opportunities for a strong recovery.

The trend in the coming sessions will depend on the weather in major growing regions, the progress of the new crop harvest, and purchasing power from key importing markets.

Limited supply in Vietnam remains a supporting factor for prices. However, if robusta and arabica continue to weaken, domestic coffee prices are unlikely to recover strongly and may remain around VND 95,000–96,000/kg.
