Many believe that coffee prices will recover each month thanks to demand from export businesses.
In reality, coffee prices do not move according to a schedule but depend on supply and demand, inventory, speculative capital flows, and developments on international exchanges.
Therefore, the most effective solution right now is not to wait for prices to rise again, but to closely monitor market signals and develop a sound sales plan.
Entering June 1st, 2026, domestic coffee prices remained lower than in previous sessions, with both Robusta London and Arabica New York experiencing sharp declines. This indicates that short-term correction pressure is still present in the global coffee market.

Current Situation & A "Blow to Awareness"
A common misconception is that falling coffee prices mean weakening demand. In reality, most of the recent sharp declines stem from profit-taking by investors after a prolonged period of price increases.
When prices reach high levels, investment funds often sell to realize profits. This creates downward pressure on prices in the short term, even though the actual amount of coffee on the market does not increase dramatically.
In addition, the prospect of more favorable weather in Brazil and expectations of improved new production have also eased investor concerns about supply.
Practical solutions that can be implemented immediately.
Checklist for coffee growers

✅ Regularly updated export and inventory information
Comparison table of response strategies
| Situation | What should be done | Do not do |
|---|---|---|
| Prices dropped sharply. | Follow the trends for more information. | Sell off everything. |
| Prices are rising sharply. | Partial profit taking | Hoard all the goods. |
| The market is volatile. | Risk management | Speculation based on rumors. |
| Price remains unchanged. | Optimizing cash flow | Passive waiting |
Commodity market experts recommend that coffee growers focus on phased sales strategies rather than trying to accurately predict market peaks or troughs. Risk management is always more important than maximizing short-term profits.
Forecast of coffee prices in the near future.
In the short term, coffee prices may continue to fluctuate sharply due to profit-taking and crop information from Brazil.
However, the fact that Robusta coffee remains above $3,400/ton indicates that global prices are still relatively high. If global inventories do not improve significantly, the market may soon find a new equilibrium.
