In the overnight trading session ending early morning on November 26th (Vietnam time), coffee prices surged on both major exchanges. Robusta futures on the London market climbed 2.34% – 2.39%, while Arabica contracts on the New York exchange rose 1.66% – 2.07%.
For benchmark contracts, January 2026 Robusta delivery gained $106 per ton, reaching $4,559 per ton. December 2025 Arabica delivery increased by $150 per ton, hitting $9,130 per ton.
Domestic coffee prices in Vietnam are expected to rebound today, following the international market’s upward trend, after averaging 110,800 VND/kg before the London session.
Yesterday, coffee prices in Lam Dong province dipped below 110,000 VND/kg, settling at 109,500 VND/kg. This decline was attributed to the region’s challenges with sunlight for drying and its greater distance from key transportation hubs.
While Vietnam produces various coffee types, Robusta accounts for 95% of its output.
Coffee prices rallied after the U.S. reduced import tariffs on Brazilian coffee. However, adverse weather conditions in Vietnam and Brazil—the world’s top two producers—have tightened supply, leading investors to anticipate continued price volatility.
From an investor’s perspective, Doan Nguyen Duc (known as “Bầu Đức”), Chairman of Hoang Anh Gia Lai Group, believes China’s shifting preferences from tea to coffee have been the primary driver of the coffee price surge over the past 2-3 years. His company plans to expand coffee cultivation to 10,000 hectares by 2027.
Coffee prices have tripled, benefiting growers significantly as the world’s most populous market embraces coffee culture, fueling substantial demand.
