At the beginning of the week, domestic coffee prices remained high, fluctuating around 96,300 - 96,400 VND/kg in key localities such as Dak Lak, Gia Lai, Dak Nong and Lam Dong. However, from mid-week onwards, prices began to turn down deeply.
As of the end of the week, the price of green coffee beans in Dak Lak and Gia Lai has decreased to 90.200 - 90.300 VND/kg. Lam Dong continues to be the locality with the lowest price, around 89,500 VND/kg. Thus, within just 5 days, domestic coffee lost about VND6,000/kg - equivalent to more than 6%.
Robusta coffee prices on the London Stock Exchange last week fell sharply after a long series of increases. The September 2025 contract started the week at 3,677 USD/ton (September 8), but closed the weekend with only 3,320 USD/ton (July 12), a total loss of 357 USD/ton. This is the deepest weekly decline since January 2025.
In contrast, arabica prices on the New York exchange recovered slightly thanks to technical purchasing power and concerns about supply in Central America. The arabica contract for September delivery increased by 7.2 cents/lb for the week, from 280.60 to 287.80 cents/lb.
However, arabica's increase is not enough to attract the general market. Optimism is still everywhere as the latest supply-demand report from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) shows that global supply is exceeding demand.
According to the USDA's July report, global coffee output in the 2024-2025 crop year is estimated at 174.4 million bags, up nearly 3% compared to the previous crop. Of which, output from Brazil will reach about 65 million bags, Vietnam is forecast to increase sharply to 31 million bags, an increase of nearly 7%.
In contrast, global consumption demand is only about 169 million bags, creating a surplus of over 5 million bags - putting downward pressure on the market.
