During last night’s trading session, as of October 17th (Vietnam time), the price of Robusta coffee on the London exchange rose by 1.46%-1.59%.

Robusta Prices Surpass $4,600 per Ton

Specifically, the Robusta coffee futures prices are as follows:

November 2025 delivery: $4,614 per ton, up $72 per ton.

January 2026 delivery: $4,524 per ton, up $71 per ton.

March 2026 delivery: $4,447 per ton, up $68 per ton.

May 2026 delivery: $4,382 per ton, up $63 per ton.

Converted to Vietnamese Dong, the benchmark November 2025 contract is at 120,500 VND/kg.

With global coffee prices rising, farmers are hopeful that today’s local coffee prices will rebound from the average of 114,400 VND/kg before the London session.

Today’s coffee prices in the domestic market are expected to continue declining from the average of 114,400 VND/kg before the London session.

Although Vietnam has entered the harvest season, there is still no new crop available for sale, and current transactions involve old stock from the previous season.

In contrast, Arabica prices on the New York exchange for December 2025 delivery dipped slightly by $20 per ton to $8,680 per ton, equivalent to 226,756 VND/kg.

Optimism for a Bountiful and Profitable New Season

Vietnam’s new coffee season has begun, and despite various influencing factors, most industry experts are confident that prices will remain high, even if they have retreated from their peak.

Meanwhile, coffee demand continues to grow steadily and sustainably.

A crucial factor is that coffee farmers currently have strong financial positions, enabling them to regulate the market and prevent prices from falling sharply.

Vietnam’s coffee output for the 2025-2026 crop year is widely forecast to increase by 5%-10% due to favorable weather conditions and high coffee prices, allowing farmers to invest in and care for their crops.

Additionally, over the past two years, farmers have actively replanted and expanded their coffee areas, further boosting production.
