The Import-Export Department ( Ministry of Industry and Trade ) forecasts that in the coming time, the coffee supply outlook will improve significantly, especially in Vietnam and Brazil. In the 2025-2026 crop year, Vietnam's coffee output is forecast to reach 1.76 million tons, an increase of 6% compared to 2024. This will be the largest harvest since the 2021-2022 crop year, contributing to reducing the pressure of supply shortage in the market.

Therefore, many roasters and processors are currently delaying purchases, waiting for prices to adjust, so in the short term, world coffee prices are forecast to decrease. Therefore, focusing on high-quality production and deep processing to maintain export prices is a fundamental solution for the Vietnamese coffee industry to maintain its target markets in the face of global fluctuations.

Over the past nine months, Vietnam's coffee exports are estimated to have reached 1.23 million tons, worth nearly 7 billion USD, a result that far exceeded last year's figure of more than 5.4 billion USD. By the end of September 2025, the average coffee export price is estimated to have reached 5,658 USD/ton, up 45.3% over the same period, bringing the turnover to a record level.

Figures from the Import-Export Department (Ministry of Industry and Trade) also show that in the first 8 months of this year, Vietnam's coffee exports grew in most categories.

Of which, Robusta coffee exports played a key role, reaching 949.6 thousand tons, worth 4.91 billion USD, up 5.8% in volume and 57.3% in value. Arabica coffee exports also grew strongly with 60.5 thousand tons, worth 401.3 million USD, up 13.2% in volume and 120.3% in value. In particular, processed coffee exports became a new growth driver, reaching 1.18 billion USD, up 63.5% over the same period.
