Coffee price November 20: World price drops sharply, domestic price exceeds 114,000 VND

World coffee prices are under double pressure from a strong US dollar and favorable rains in Brazil. In contrast, domestic coffee prices have increased due to concerns that heavy rains in the Central Highlands will affect the harvest.

Mixed developments in the coffee market

On the morning of November 20, the coffee market recorded contrasting developments between world and domestic prices. While international exchanges witnessed a sharp decline, the price of green coffee beans in the Central Highlands provinces continued to increase sharply, fluctuating between 113,700 - 114,700 VND/kg.

Coffee prices on November 20 recorded mixed trends as world prices fell sharply but domestic prices remained high.

Domestic coffee prices increase due to weather concerns

Contrary to the world trend, coffee prices in key growing regions continued to be adjusted upwards. In Dak Lak , the purchase price reached the highest level in the country at 114,700 VND/kg, an increase of 1,000 VND/kg compared to November 19. Similarly, prices in Gia Lai increased by 1,200 VND/kg to 114,200 VND/kg and in Lam Dong increased by 1,100 VND/kg, trading at 113,700 VND/kg.

The main cause is believed to be prolonged heavy rains in the Central Highlands, which are hindering the harvest progress despite the peak season. Many gardeners have recorded a fruit drop rate of 15-20%, raising concerns about the new crop’s output and contributing to keeping domestic prices high.

World markets fell sharply

On the futures exchanges, coffee prices fell across the board. According to updates from the Vietnam Commodity Exchange (MXV), the prices of the two main types of coffee have developed as follows:

Type of coffee	Term	Price	Change
Robusta (London)	November 2025	4,545 USD/ton	-29 USD
Arabica (New York)	December 2025	414.45 cents/lb	-0.9 cents

According to expert Nguyen Quang Binh, the decline of Arabica comes from hedge funds and businesses closing prices for December position contracts. In addition, the pressure also comes from two main factors:

• USD gains: The US Dollar Index (DXY) rose 0.58% to 100.13, putting pressure on commodities priced in the currency.
• Favorable weather in Brazil: News of rains in key coffee growing regions of Brazil has eased supply concerns, boosting selling activities.

The decline in Arabica prices has dragged down Robusta prices, although the decline has been somewhat milder as the market remains concerned about the impact of floods on the harvest in Vietnam.
