London Coffee Price Unchanged, Domestic Price Down
The London exchange was closed for a holiday. The November 2025 contract price remains at 4,650 USD/ton, equivalent to 121,300 VND/kg. Domestic coffee prices fell by 2,000 VND/kg, averaging 121,900 VND/kg.

According to updates, Brazil has completed the 2025-2026 coffee harvest with a record production of 25 million bags, equivalent to 1.5 million tons, which is in line with previous estimates. However, the country’s coffee export pace is rather slow, and a large portion of the Robusta production is consumed domestically.
In July, Brazil’s Robusta coffee exports decreased by 49% compared to the previous year, contributing to the significant increase in global coffee prices.

From the beginning of 2025 until now, coffee exports peaked in March and then gradually decreased, indicating that businesses took advantage of favorable prices to sell their products. Compared to July 2024, the export volume and value in July 2025 still increased by 33.1% and 45.8%, respectively.

According to the Import-Export Department, the decrease in coffee exports in July was due to dwindling domestic supply. Additionally, the rise in domestic coffee prices has led many businesses to restrict sales.
“Many businesses are temporarily holding onto their stock, waiting for better prices and prioritizing the domestic market. The increase in logistics costs has also contributed to reduced shipment volumes,” the department commented.
