Market outlook
According to the Vietnam Coffee - Cocoa Association (Vicofa), coffee exports in the last months of 2026 are expected to continue to maintain positive momentum. Production for the whole year 2026 is estimated to increase by about 8 - 10% compared to 2025, thanks to additional supply from the new crop year harvested in November.
In order to cope with price reduction pressure as global supply increases, the industry is shifting to focusing on increasing value instead of chasing output.
The coffee market is still under pressure due to increased Arabica inventories on the ICE exchange, Brazil's exports being boosted and favorable weather conditions in Brazil as well as Vietnam.
