Coffee price assessment

Domestic coffee prices increased sharply for the second consecutive session, in the same direction as positive developments in the world market. The increase of Robusta London by more than 2% is a noteworthy signal for the Vietnamese market, because Robusta is a commodity group that directly affects domestic purchasing prices more.

Meanwhile, Arabica inventory certified on ICE fell to its lowest level in 2.75 years. The increase in Robusta inventory is a factor that could put pressure on Robusta. This shows that the current upward momentum is still interspersedly affected by supply, inventory and harvesting activities in major producing countries.

Accumulated in the first 7 months of the year, coffee exports reached about 1.2 million tons, up 10.8% in volume but turnover decreased by 11.2%, to 5.45 billion USD. This development is mainly due to the average export price decreasing by 19.9% compared to the same period, down to 4,537 USD/ton.
