Coffee price assessment

Domestic coffee prices increased sharply after a period of adjustment, in the same direction as positive developments in the world market. The increase of Robusta London by more than 1% is a noteworthy factor for Vietnamese coffee prices, because Robusta is the main commodity group of the domestic market.

According to Barchart, coffee prices increased due to concerns about global supply, in which Brazil’s coffee harvest progress was slower than the same period. Safras & Mercado said Brazil’s 2026-2027 coffee harvest reached 90% as of August 12, lower than 97% in the same period last year and the 5-year average of 94%. Barchart also recorded Arabica certified inventories on ICE falling to a 2.75-year low, while Robusta inventories increased to a 5-month high.

Domestically, the increase of 1,700-1,800 VND/kg helped coffee prices regain some of the previous decline. However, the current level is still only around 97,000 VND/kg, lower than the high price zone recorded at the end of July and the beginning of August.
