Coffee price assessment
Coffee prices simultaneously fell sharply in yesterday's trading session, in which Arabica prices fell to the lowest level in a week. Selling pressure increased after Cecafe said Brazil's green bean coffee exports in June increased by 14.4% compared to the same period last year, reaching 2.64 million bags.
Since setting a 5.5-month high last week, coffee prices have continuously fluctuated strongly in a wide range below the peak due to low market liquidity, making price movements very erratic.
After the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) twice raised the margin level for coffee futures contract transactions last week, market liquidity decreased significantly. Many commodity investment funds have closed down their positions, causing prices to frequently experience strong ups and downs in one direction.
USDA FAS forecasts that world coffee production in the 2025/26 crop year will increase by 2%, to a record 178.848 million bags. Of which, arabica production decreased by 4.7% to 95.515 million bags, while robusta production increased by 10.9% to 83.333 million bags.
USDA FAS also forecasts that Brazil's coffee production in the 2025-2026 crop year will decrease by 3.1% to 63 million bags, while Vietnam's coffee production will increase by 6.2% to 30.8 million bags, the highest level in 4 years. At the same time, coffee inventories at the end of the 2025-2026 crop year are forecast to decrease by 5.4%, to 20.148 million bags, from 21,307 million bags in the previous crop year.
Vietnam's strong coffee exports - the world's largest Robusta producer - partly put downward pressure on prices. The Statistics Office (Ministry of Finance) said that coffee exports in the first 6 months of 2026 increased by 7.3% compared to the same period, reaching 1.05 million tons. Previously, coffee exports in 2025 increased by 17.5%, to 1.58 million tons. Vietnam's coffee production in the 2025/26 crop year is also forecast to increase by 6%, reaching 1.76 million tons (equivalent to 29.4 million bags), the highest level in 4 years.
