As of 11:30 a.m. today (January 5), domestic coffee was still trading at 119,800 - 120,500 VND/kg. The average coffee purchase price in the Central Highlands provinces at the end of the week fell to 120,300 VND/kg.

On the London and New York exchanges, the coffee market moved in the same direction across all terms. On the London Robusta Coffee Exchange, coffee prices remained stable, moving away from the $5,000/ton mark. Contracts for delivery in March 2025 and May 2025 both maintained their price reduction of nearly 2%, listed at $4,968/ton and $4,897/ton, respectively.
Similarly, the situation in the New York Arabica coffee market did not change much. The delivery period in March 2025 and May 2025 was fixed at 318.65 cents/lb and 314.90 cents/lb, down 2.51% and 2.24%, respectively.
Coffee prices retreated late in the week as drought concerns eased thanks to recent above-average rains in Brazil. Coffee prices fell to a four-week low on Tuesday after the largest Arabica growing region, Minas Gerais, received 102.8 mm of rain last week, or 182% of the historical average.
According to a report by the General Department of Vietnam Customs, Vietnam's cumulative export volume in the first two months of the current coffee crop year (October 2024 to September 2025) was 983,000 bags, down 36.61%, compared to the same period last year. The reason for the decline in export volume is attributed to delays in harvesting and prolonged wet weather in the first two months of the crop year.
Robusta coffee prices rose to a two-week high after the New Year holiday on concerns that heavy rains in Vietnam would disrupt the Robusta coffee harvest.
