World coffee prices
In the world market, coffee prices increase and decrease interspersed.
According to Barchart, the September 2026 Arabica futures contract closed up 4.35 US cents/lb, equivalent to 1.30%. In the opposite direction, the September 2026 Robusta futures contract decreased by 13 USD/ton, equivalent to 0.34%.
This development shows that the upward momentum in the world market is concentrated in all terms of Arabica coffee. Meanwhile, Robusta – a group that has a more direct impact on Vietnamese coffee prices – simultaneously decreased, creating pressure on domestic purchasing prices. The decrease is from 13-28 USD/ton, equivalent to about 0.345-0.74%, fluctuating in the range of 3,769 – 3,733 USD/ton.
Coffee price assessment
According to Barchart, Arabica coffee prices increased amid concerns that a strong earthquake in Colombia on Monday could disrupt coffee exports from the country, the world’s second largest Arabica coffee producer. Some areas affected by the magnitude 7.4 Richter earthquake are Caldas and Risaralda – coffee-growing provinces accounting for about 1/4 of Colombia’s coffee production.
In addition, Maersk transportation company said on Tuesday that operations at Buenaventura port – which processes most of Colombia’s coffee exports – have been temporarily suspended. The closure of domestic routes and traffic restrictions due to the earthquake could also affect cargo transportation.
Arabica coffee is also supported by the slow coffee harvest progress in Brazil.
Meanwhile, reduced inventory is supporting Arabica coffee prices, as Arabica coffee inventories on the ICE exchange on Wednesday fell to a 2.75-year low, to 240,285 bags. Conversely, increased inventories are putting pressure on Robusta prices, reaching 4,364 lots on Wednesday, the highest in 5 months.
The latest forecast from the USDA also puts downward pressure on coffee prices. On July 22, the USDA forecast that global coffee production in the 2026/27 crop year will increase by 6%, equivalent to an additional 10.8 million bags, to a record level of 189.7 million bags, mainly thanks to improved farming conditions in Brazil.
The USDA forecasts global Arabica production to increase by 12% over the same period, while Robusta production will decrease by 0.7%. Global inventory at the end of the period is forecast to increase by an additional 1.9 million bags, to 26.3 million bags.
