As of the closing trading session last night and early this morning on October 29th (Vietnam time), Robusta coffee prices on the London exchange saw a slight increase of $10-$15 per ton, while Arabica coffee prices on the New York exchange dropped by $50-$70 per ton.

Domestic Coffee Prices Edge Lower

For the benchmark contracts, January 2026 Robusta prices rose by $15 per ton to $4,465 per ton, whereas December 2025 Arabica prices fell by $50 per ton to $8,550 per ton.

Today’s domestic coffee prices are expected to recover slightly from VND 115,500 per kg.

Yesterday, domestic coffee prices decreased by only VND 1,300 per kg, compared to a $107 per ton decline on the exchange, equivalent to VND 2,800 per kg. Some companies purchased old-crop coffee at VND 117,000 per kg and new-crop coffee at VND 115,500 – 116,000 per kg. Heavy rainfall in the Central Highlands has forced some areas to dry coffee beans due to insufficient sunlight.

Domestic coffee prices remain resilient

Vietnam’s Largest Coffee Imports Come from Indonesia

In the 2024-2025 coffee season, Vietnamese enterprises imported nearly 110,000 tons of coffee valued at $560 million, a 9% decrease in volume but a 32% increase in value.

Vietnam’s largest coffee imports originate from Indonesia (27% market share by volume), Brazil (26%), and Laos (26%). Indonesia’s position as the top coffee supplier to Vietnam is somewhat unexpected.

Historically, Indonesian coffee has commanded the highest prices globally due to limited export volumes, as most production serves domestic demand. However, amidst soaring global coffee prices, Indonesian coffee prices are now lower than those from other countries.

This shift is attributed to Indonesian farmers’ tendency to sell promptly when prices rise, whereas Brazilian and Vietnamese farmers hold back, awaiting higher prices.
