Today, October 20th, major coffee exchanges such as London and New York will open in the afternoon, Vietnam time.
High Coffee Prices at the Start of the Season
Robusta coffee prices began the week at $4,552 per ton for November 2025 delivery and $8,760 per ton for Arabica coffee with December 2025 delivery.
In Vietnam, today’s coffee prices started at an average of 114,300 VND/kg. The highest prices were recorded in Dak Lak, where some dealers quoted 115,000 – 116,000 VND/kg, while the lowest prices were in Lam Dong, at around 113,500 VND/kg.
Fresh Robusta coffee is trading between 20,000 – 24,000 VND/kg, considered high due to selective harvesting by farmers, resulting in a higher ripeness ratio and greater green coffee bean yield compared to bulk harvesting.
Despite the new season, Vietnamese coffee prices remain strong compared to July 2025, when Brazil’s harvest put pressure on supply.
