Domestic coffee prices
The domestic coffee market this morning (December 27) dispelled the gloom of yesterday's slight correction session with a "sky-high" price increase. Green color covers the entire Central Highlands region with a very strong increase range, from 1,300 to 2,000 VND/kg. The average price has now jumped to 98,100 VND/kg, only a very short distance away from the 100,000 VND mark.
The focus of the market today belongs to Lam Dong province. After a few sessions of falling behind, today the purchasing price here has increased sharply by 2,000 VND/kg, reaching 97,000 VND/kg, narrowing the gap with other regions.
In Dak Nong (old), the upward momentum has not shown signs of stopping when the price added 1,400 VND/kg, setting a new peak of 98,200 VND/kg - the highest in the region.
In the "capital" of Dak Lak, agents also adjusted up by 1,300 VND, bringing the transaction price to 98,000 VND/kg.
Similarly, Gia Lai recorded an increase of 1,500 VND, closing at 98,000 VND/kg.
World coffee prices
The weekend international market session recorded differentiation due to holiday schedules and weather factors.
On the London exchange, Robusta coffee futures for January 2026 still maintained the closing price of Wednesday at 4,012 USD/ton. Anchoring at this peak above 4,000 USD continues to be a solid psychological foundation for the global market.
Conversely, the New York Stock Exchange reopened and immediately "stirred up". Arabica coffee futures for March 2026 skyrocketed 5.10 cents/lb (equivalent to 1.48%), closing at a high of 350.25 cents/lb. This was a strong gaining session, helping Arabica regain everything lost in the mid-week adjustment sessions and establish a new upward trend.
Coffee price assessment and forecast
The direct cause of the strong increase in Arabica is the latest weather forecast in Brazil. Meteorological models warn of a severe heat wave sweeping through key coffee growing areas of Brazil and possibly lasting until the end of next Monday. High temperatures combined with low rainfall (last week Minas Gerais only reached 76% of average rainfall) are raising serious concerns about the health of next crop crops.
In addition, basic supporting factors are still working. In Indonesia, flood information caused Robusta prices to hit record highs even though the London exchange did not trade. In addition, the US market is in a state of "shortage" when imports from Brazil in the period of October-August decreased by 52% due to previous tariff barriers.
In Vietnam, although the Statistics Office reported that exports in November increased by 39% and USDA forecasts that next crop year output will increase by 6.2%, the demand for goods to pay contracts of exporters is still very large. With the current acceleration of Arabica and the steadfastness of Robusta, the 100,000 VND/kg mark for Vietnamese coffee is likely to be restored next week, before the New Year holiday begins.
