Today, May 22, the domestic coffee market recorded a slight increase, bringing a positive signal to growers.
According to a survey from a page specializing in agricultural products, coffee prices in the Central Highlands range from 124,700 to 125,300 VND/kg.
In some provinces such as Dak Lak and Gia Lai, the price reached 125,200 VND/kg, an increase of 200 VND/kg compared to the previous day.
Dak Nong has the highest coffee price of 125,300 VND/kg, up 100 VND/kg, while Lam Dong has the lowest price of 124,700 VND/kg, also up 200 VND/kg.
Coffee prices at Ho Chi Minh City port are stable at 151,000 VND/kg.
The reference USD/VND exchange rate was at 25,780 VND, up 10 VND, partly supporting export value.
Compared to a month ago (September 15), domestic coffee prices decreased from an average of VND 128,500/kg (according to agricultural product information sources), down about VND 3,200/kg, due to the influence of abundant supply when countries such as Brazil and Indonesia entered the harvest season.
In the international market, coffee prices have fluctuated in different directions, creating a cautious mentality for investors.
On the London Stock Exchange, Robusta coffee futures for delivery in July 2025 increased by 17 USD/ton, reaching 4,788 USD/ton; September 2025 futures increased by 14 USD/ton, to 4,746 USD/ton.
In contrast, on the New York exchange, Arabica coffee delivery price in July 2025 decreased by 0.85 USD/ton, down to 355.70 USD/ton; the September 2025 term decreased by 2.80 USD/ton, down to 358.75 USD/ton.
Compared to a month ago (September 22), Robusta prices on the London exchange decreased from the peak of 5,821 USD/ton, down about 1,033 USD/ton.
Arabica prices also fell sharply from 9,680 USD/ton to 355.70 USD/ton, equivalent to a decrease of 6,113 USD/ton. This decrease comes from a sharp increase in supply as major producing countries boost exports.
Domestic coffee prices increased slightly thanks to stable domestic demand and support exchange rates, but the decline in the past month showed pressure from international supply.
The global market fluctuates due to macroeconomic factors and weather in large growing areas. Growers should closely monitor developments to choose the time of sale, and pay attention to transportation costs when fuel prices have not cooled down.
