Coffee prices in the Central Highlands today, October 9, 2026, decreased by 1,400 VND/kg across the board.
The domestic coffee market on the morning of October 9, 2026, recorded a widespread downward adjustment. The purchase price of bulk green coffee beans in key production areas in the Central Highlands decreased by 1,400 VND/kg compared to the previous update, bringing the trading level to around 92,200–93,000 VND/kg.
Notably, despite the widespread price drop, the former Dak Nong area, now part of Lam Dong province, maintained the highest purchase price among the surveyed areas. This was also the only area that sustained the 93,000 VND/kg mark in this morning’s update.
In Dak Lak , coffee prices today decreased by 1,400 VND/kg, falling to 92,800 VND/kg. With this adjustment, the local purchase price has moved away from the previous update’s 94,000 VND/kg mark and dropped below 93,000 VND/kg.
Following the same trend, the Gia Lai coffee market recorded a price of 92,800 VND/kg, 1,400 VND/kg lower than the most recent survey. Prices in Gia Lai are currently on par with Dak Lak, indicating that the two regions are experiencing fairly similar purchasing trends.
In the traditional Lam Dong region, bulk green coffee beans were purchased at 92,200 VND/kg, a decrease of 1,400 VND/kg. This was the lowest price among the four monitored areas, 600 VND/kg lower than the prices in Dak Lak and Gia Lai.
Meanwhile, the former Dak Nong region saw a price of 93,000 VND/kg after a decrease of 1,400 VND/kg. Despite experiencing a similar adjustment to other regions, this area still tops the Central Highlands coffee price list, 800 VND/kg higher than the traditional Lam Dong region.
Developments on the morning of October 9th showed that downward pressure was no longer concentrated in a single purchasing region. All four regions adjusted their prices with similar margins, reflecting the general trend of the domestic bulk green coffee market as international prices continued to weaken.

The reference price is updated on October 8, 2026, and is not the bulk green coffee purchase price on October 9. The actual price may vary depending on the processing facility, quality, and volume of the transaction.
The difference between bulk green coffee and roasted and ground products stems not only from the price of raw materials but also includes losses during processing, labor costs, energy, sorting, storage, and distribution.
Therefore, higher roasting prices do not necessarily mean a corresponding increase in profits for processing businesses. For production facilities, controlling costs and maintaining product quality remains crucial when raw material prices fluctuate.
World coffee prices today, October 9, 2026: London Robusta prices fall by as much as $79/ton.
Contrary to previous recovery sessions, the global coffee market entered October 9th with a widespread decline across London Robusta contracts. Selling pressure emerged in both near-term and long-term contracts, causing many contracts to lose between $62 and $79 per ton.
According to the updated trading board at 8:38 AM, the price of Robusta coffee for November 2026 delivery decreased by $62/ton, to $3,423/ton. During the session, the price briefly touched $3,509/ton but then retreated to near its lowest point of $3,406/ton.
Robusta coffee futures for January 2027 fell even more sharply, losing $71/ton to $3,398/ton. Trading volume reached 14,429 lots, the highest among the five maturities surveyed, indicating significant trading activity concentrated on this contract.
The outlook for longer-term contracts was no better. Robusta for March 2027 fell by $77/ton to $3,378/ton. The May 2027 and July 2027 contracts both decreased by $79/ton, to $3,369/ton and $3,358/ton respectively.
One notable point is that the prices of forward contracts are all lower than the November 2026 contract. This price structure reflects the difference between delivery times, although it is not sufficient grounds to conclude that future spot coffee prices will definitely fall.

The weakening of London Robusta prices has significant implications for the Vietnamese market, where Robusta coffee accounts for a large proportion of production and exports. However, domestic purchase prices do not necessarily fluctuate proportionally in absolute value with futures contracts, as they are also influenced by exchange rates, physical price differences, and local trading activity.
Arabica coffee prices today, October 9, 2026: All futures contracts on the New York exchange declined.
Not only Robusta, but the Arabica market in New York also recorded declines across all monitored contracts. The adjustment ranged from 3.45 to 3.80 cents/pound, indicating downward pressure on both types of coffee traded internationally.

The simultaneous decline in both Arabica and Robusta prices in a single session indicates that cautious sentiment is dominating the coffee futures market. Changes in supply expectations, international trade developments, and production prospects in major coffee-producing countries continue to be factors to monitor.
Brazil plays a significant role in the global coffee market with large production of both Arabica and Conilon, a type of Robusta coffee. Changes in production, export schedules, and weather conditions in the country can impact the global supply and demand balance.
One piece of information currently attracting market attention is the forecast that Brazil’s coffee production for the 2026-2027 crop year could reach approximately 75.8 million 60-kg bags. In addition, some market assessments suggest a scenario where global coffee supply will exceed demand by about 8.9 million bags this crop year.
If actual production is close to forecast levels, the amount of coffee available on the international market could improve significantly. This is a negative factor for prices, as buyers will have more options regarding supply sources.
However, the oversupply forecast still contains uncertainties. Harvest yields can vary depending on rainfall, temperature, extreme weather, and crop care conditions. In addition, stockpiling activities and demand from roasting businesses can also influence price movements.
For the Vietnamese market, seasonal transitions and market distribution activities are key factors to monitor. Actual supply, producers’ sales speed, and purchasing demand from export companies will impact coffee prices in the Central Highlands.
The simultaneous drop in London Robusta prices, while domestic bulk coffee beans lost 1,400 VND/kg, indicates that the two markets are moving in the same direction. However, the entire domestic decline cannot be attributed solely to the London market’s performance, as purchase prices depend on actual trading conditions.
Coffee price forecast for the coming days: Will Robusta recover after the sharp decline?
Following the widespread decline on October 9th, the coffee market is facing several conflicting factors. In the short term, developments on the London exchange and the outlook for Brazilian supply could continue to influence purchasing price trends in the Central Highlands.
The first factor to consider is the possibility of international Robusta prices stabilizing after the recent corrections. The November 2026 contract is currently trading at $3,423 per ton, while the January 2027 contract is at $3,398 per ton. If prices continue to fall, the domestic coffee market could face further pressure.
Conversely, unfavorable weather conditions in major producing countries or changes in import demand could help the market regain support. Coffee prices may also experience technical rebounds after a period of consecutive declines, but the timing and extent of these rebounds are currently uncertain.
For Vietnam, the progress of the new crop harvest and the actual amount of goods brought to market will be important variables. Increased supply may make buyers more cautious, while demand from export businesses is likely to support prices in some areas.
In Lam Dong province specifically, the 800 VND/kg price difference between the former Dak Nong region and the traditional Lam Dong region is a point that needs further monitoring. Changes in this price difference in the coming days may reflect differences in demand and purchasing conditions between regions.
Overall, coffee prices today, October 9, 2026, have fallen to 92,200–93,000 VND/kg in the Central Highlands, with both Robusta London and Arabica New York prices weakening. Short-term prospects depend on global price developments, Brazilian supply, and coffee trading activity in Vietnam.
