Coffee prices bounce back sharply

Coffee prices today unexpectedly increased sharply both domestically and on international exchanges. According to many experts, the price movement of coffee at this stage is relatively difficult to predict.

According to information from many gardeners, agents and businesses, on August 12, the domestic price of green coffee beans was traded at 106,500 - 107,500 VND/kg, an increase of 3,000 - 3,500 VND compared to yesterday's price.

Specifically, in Dak Lak and Lam Dong provinces, the price of green coffee beans is commonly traded at 107,000 - 107,500 VND/kg; in Dong Nai and Ho Chi Minh City, the price is 106,500 - 107,000 VND/kg. Thus, except for the relatively stable day of August 11, the price has tended to increase gradually in the past few days.

Compared to the peak of 135,500 VND/kg in early March 2025, the current price has decreased sharply. However, the current price has increased sharply compared to around 90,000 VND/kg in previous months, and is much better than previous years, bringing high profits to gardeners.

Meanwhile, at the end of last night's trading session, in the early morning of August 12 (Vietnam time), coffee prices on both international exchanges increased sharply. On the London exchange (UK), Robusta coffee prices increased by 4.39-4.84% while on the New York exchange (USA), Arabica prices increased by 3.33-3.84%.

Specifically, for the November 2025 delivery term, Robusta price increased by 154 USD/ton, reaching 3,664 USD; for the nearest term (September 2025), Robusta price reached 3,728 USD/ton, an increase of 167 USD.

Arabica futures for December 2025 increased by 260 USD, to 6,920 USD/ton; futures for September 2025 reached 7,070 USD/ton, up 250 USD.

Many businesses said that Brazil, the world's largest coffee producer and exporter, is currently completing its coffee harvest this year, but recent exports have been recorded to have barely increased, or even show signs of decreasing. This has contributed to the recent rebound in world coffee prices after a continuous decline before.

Besides, the story about inflation and reciprocal taxes that the US has been calculating and imposing on other countries is also the reason affecting the coffee trading plans of businesses, causing coffee prices to fluctuate.

According to a representative of the Vietnam Coffee and Cocoa Association, in the long term, world coffee output will increase as farmers increase investment and new planting, but short-term coffee price movements are still difficult to predict due to the impact of many factors.
