Coffee prices surge.

Coffee prices unexpectedly surged today, both domestically and on international exchanges. Many experts believe that the future direction of coffee prices at this time is relatively difficult to predict.

According to information from various farmers, dealers, and businesses, on August 12th, the price of bulk green coffee beans in the domestic market was traded at 106,500 - 107,500 VND/kg, an increase of 3,000 - 3,500 VND compared to yesterday's price.

Specifically, in Dak Lak and Lam Dong provinces, the price of bulk green coffee beans is commonly traded at 107,000 - 107,500 VND/kg; in Dong Nai province and Ho Chi Minh City, the price is 106,500 - 107,000 VND/kg. Thus, except for August 11th, when prices were relatively stable, prices have tended to gradually increase over the past several days.

Compared to the peak of 135,500 VND/kg in early March 2025, the current price has dropped sharply. However, the current price is significantly higher than the around 90,000 VND/kg of previous months, and much better than in previous years, bringing high profits to farmers.

Meanwhile, at the close of trading last night, early morning August 12th (Vietnam time), coffee prices on both international exchanges rose sharply. On the London exchange (UK), Robusta coffee prices increased by 4.39-4.84%, while on the New York exchange (USA), Arabica prices increased by 3.33-3.84%.

Specifically, for the November 2025 contract, Robusta prices increased by $154/ton, reaching $3,664; for the nearest contract (September 2025), Robusta prices reached $3,728/ton, an increase of $167.

Meanwhile, Arabica futures for December 2025 increased by $260 to $6,920 per ton; September 2025 futures reached $7,070 per ton, an increase of $250.

Many businesses report that Brazil, the world's largest coffee producer and exporter, is currently completing its harvest this season, but recent exports have shown little to no increase, and some even appear to be declining. This has contributed to a recent rebound in world coffee prices after a period of continuous decline.

In addition, the issue of inflation and the retaliatory tariffs that the US has been and is planning to impose on other countries are also factors affecting businesses' coffee trading plans, causing coffee prices to fluctuate.

According to representatives of the Vietnam Coffee and Cocoa Association, in the long term, world coffee production will increase due to increased investment and new planting by farmers, but short-term coffee price trends remain difficult to predict as they are being affected by many factors.
