Domestic coffee prices drop sharply
On the morning of June 6, the domestic coffee market turned to decrease sharply after a series of hot days of increase. According to dealers, coffee prices in the Central Highlands currently range from 115,000 - 115,700 VND/kg, down to 2,800 - 3,000 VND/kg compared to the peak on June 5 (ways 118,000 - 118,500 VND/kg).
Dak Lak and Dak Nong both recorded coffee prices at VND 115,700/kg, down VND 2,800/kg.
Coffee prices in Gia Lai: 115,600 VND/kg, down 2,700 VND/kg.
Coffee prices in Lam Dong: 115,000 VND/kg, down 3,000 VND/kg - the deepest decrease.
Despite a sharp decrease compared to yesterday, domestic coffee prices are still about 45,000 VND/kg higher than in early 2025 (about 70,000 VND/kg), and 8,000 VND/kg higher than the same period in 2024 (June 6, 2024 with an average price of around 107,000 VND/kg).
World coffee prices rebound
In contrast to the domestic market, world coffee prices had a spectacular recovery in the trading session on June 5 (US time), after hitting a short-term bottom the previous day.
On the London Stock Exchange:
Robusta's July 2025 term increased by 121 USD/ton, to 4,593 USD/ton.
The September 2025 term increased by 100 USD/ton, reaching 4,445 USD/ton.
On the New York Stock Exchange:
Arabica futures for July 2025 increased by 13.60 cents/lb to 359.75 cents/lb (~7,930 USD/ton converted).
The September 2025 term increased by 13.35 cents/lb, reaching 357.20 cents/lb.
Compared to the deep decline on June 5, this is a very strong reversal, especially for Robusta - the type of coffee that accounts for 90% of Vietnam's exports. Compared to the beginning of the year, Robusta has increased by about 1,600 USD/ton (+53%) and Arabica has nearly doubled in price.
Coffee market assessment
Today's coffee prices clearly reflect the two psychological directions between the domestic and international markets. While the world recovered strongly due to concerns about lack of supply and increased speculative buying, domestic prices fell sharply due to profit-taking and reserved sentiment.
Although domestic coffee prices have decreased today, the medium-term trend is still positive as Vietnam's inventories have decreased, farmers limit selling. Meanwhile, the world market is under pressure from Brazil's supply that has not yet entered the main season, and buying power from speculative funds is returning.
However, the risk of an adjustment still exists if sales pressure increases again in the coming days. Coffee growers should closely monitor daily price fluctuations and be flexible in keeping or selling goods.
