World coffee prices
On the London Stock Exchange, robusta prices showed signs of recovery. The September 2025 contract ended at 4,610 USD/ton, up 8 USD.
Longer terms increased more strongly: November 2025 reached 4,454 USD/ton (+55 USD), January 2026 at 4,371 USD/ton (+54 USD), March 2026 reached 4,309 USD/ton (+54 USD), and May 2026 to 4,261 USD/ton (+52 USD).
The New York Stock Exchange also showed that arabica regained their green color. The September 2025 contract increased by 3.05 cents to 385.25 cents/pound; December 2025 reached 373.65 cents, up 3.30 cents; March 2026 reached 361.80 cents, up 3.05 cents.
Terms longer than May and July 2026 also increased by 2.70 - 2.90 cents, reaching 351.50 and 339.50 cents/pound, respectively.
After a strong sell-off on September 3, the world coffee market has seen bottom-fishing buying, helping Robusta and arabica prices increase again. However, the pressure from the rapid harvest progress in Brazil and the unimprovement of exports may continue to create strong fluctuations in the short term.
Coffee prices rose on Wednesday, with Robusta coffee prices recovering from a 1.5-week low due to a decline in global coffee supply. On Wednesday, the International Coffee Organization (ICO) reported that global coffee exports in July decreased by -1.6% compared to the same period last year to 11.6 million bags, and total coffee exports from October to July decreased by -0.3% compared to the same period last year to 115.615 million bags.
Coffee prices have risen sharply in the past month and hit a 3.5-month high last Thursday due to concerns about scarce supply and weather conditions in Brazil. The amount of robusta coffee in stock on the ICE floor fell to a one-month low of 6,552 lots last Thursday. The amount of arabica coffee in stock tracked by ICE also fell to a 1.25-year low of 686,863 bags on Wednesday.
World coffee prices are also supported by concerns about the shortage of coffee supply in the US, as US importers are canceling contracts to buy new Brazilian coffee beans due to the 50% tax applied to Brazilian exports to the US. This is tightening coffee supply in the US market, as about a third of the amount of unroasted coffee comes from Brazil, according to barchart.com.
