Domestic coffee prices hit a deadline
On the morning of June 20, domestic coffee prices continued to fall sharply. The price decreased from 2,300 - 2,500 VND/kg compared to yesterday, pushing the price level in the Central Highlands provinces around the threshold of 100,500 - 101,000 VND/kg.
Specifically, Dak Lak, Gia Lai and Dak Nong all recorded 101,000 VND/kg, down 2,500 and 2,300 VND/kg respectively. Lam Dong continues to be the locality with the lowest price in the region, at VND100,500/kg.
Compared to the beginning of June, domestic coffee prices have "evaporated" by more than VND 15,000/kg. If calculated from the beginning of the year, the decrease is up to nearly 30,000 VND/kg, showing that selling pressure is getting greater while the market has not shown clear signs of recovery.
Robusta stagnates, Arabica drops sharply
After many sharp declines, Robusta coffee prices on the London exchange have temporarily stagnated in the most recent session. The July 2025 term increased slightly by 14 USD/ton, to 4,034 USD/ton, while the longer terms such as September, November and January 2026 only decreased slightly, around 2 - 4 USD/ton.
On the contrary, Arabica prices on the New York exchange continued to plummet. Key terms such as September, December and March 2026 all fell from 10.15 - 10.45 cents/lb, bringing the trading level to the range of 308.60 - 322.30 cents/lb. This is the lowest price range in more than a month.
The contrast between the two exchanges comes from the difference in supply and trading psychology. While Robusta is supported by shortage concerns from Vietnam, Arabica is under pressure from increased inventories in the US and Brazilian output is forecast to be more abundant.
Market sentiment turns cautious
The continued sharp decline in domestic coffee prices reflects the cautious sentiment of businesses and growers. Many units have temporarily stopped buying to observe further developments on the floor, while farmers have begun to increase sales at the risk of prices continuing to decrease.
Analysts said that the market is entering a technical adjustment phase after a series of hot increases in April-May. Without supporting factors from weather information or positive inventory data, coffee prices may still fluctuate at a low level in the short term.
