As of the closing trading sessions last night and early this morning, December 6th (Vietnam time), coffee prices saw a decline. Robusta coffee on the London exchange dropped by 7-56 USD/ton, while Arabica on the New York exchange fell by 1.47%-1.64%.

Robusta Prices Decline Throughout the Week

Specifically, the January 2026 Robusta contract decreased by 7 USD/ton, settling at 4,295 USD/ton, equivalent to 112,300 VND/kg. Over the week’s five trading sessions, Robusta reference prices consistently fell, totaling a 270 USD/ton decline, or 5.9%.

January 2026 Robusta contract saw a sharp decline at the beginning of the week.

The March 2026 Arabica contract dropped by 120 USD/ton, closing at 8,260 USD/ton. Compared to the previous week, it fell by 140 USD/ton, or 1.67%.

Today’s coffee market in Vietnam is expected to see a slight adjustment from the 103,900 VND/kg level before the London exchange opens.

Yesterday, domestic coffee prices saw a slight recovery, increasing by an average of 200–500 VND/kg to secure supplies from farmers.

Vietnam is currently in the peak coffee harvesting season.

What Are the Reasons?

This week’s coffee price decline is attributed to Vietnam’s ongoing harvest, which has increased supply. Additionally, the depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the USD has further reduced coffee prices in USD terms.

Another significant factor is the near-certain delay of the European Union’s Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) by an additional year. This postponement halts Vietnam’s competitive advantage in meeting these criteria compared to other producers.

Recently, Vietnam was officially classified as a “low-risk” country under the EUDR, allowing its agricultural and forestry products, including coffee, to undergo simplified control procedures compared to competitors.

To comply with the EUDR, Vietnamese businesses have invested significantly, positioning themselves ahead of mandatory requirements.
