Coffee market assessment and forecast
Domestic coffee prices are stable today after the decline from May 22, but pressure from the international market is still present.
Global supply is increasing, especially from Brazil and Vietnam, and favorable weather in Vietnam ( good rain forecast to support the new crop) is affecting prices.
Vietnam's coffee output in the 2024-2025 crop year is forecast to decrease by 5-15% due to the impact of El Nino, which may support prices in the long term.
In the short term, prices may continue to be under pressure if global supply does not have sudden fluctuations. Growers should closely monitor price developments and the weather to decide the time of sale.
