The current high price of pure coffee has forced many small shops to mix in other ingredients to reduce costs. This has significantly reduced the quality of coffee, making it difficult for consumers to distinguish between truly pure coffee. The main reason is that the production chain is unprofessional and uncontrolled.

Many small processing facilities lack capital and technology, so they have to buy low-quality raw materials, even discarded parts, to roast, grind and blend. This method helps them increase profits in the short term but has a long-term impact on the reputation of the Vietnamese coffee industry.

According to regulations, qualified coffee must have at least 1% caffeine. However, there are still many products on the market that only list 0.4–0.7% caffeine on the packaging. Consumers need to read the information carefully when buying to avoid choosing poor quality products.

Experts say that manufacturers should be held responsible for the information on the packaging. If the caffeine content is not as declared, the product can be considered a counterfeit. Only with proper and transparent production processes can the Vietnamese coffee market regain consumer trust.

Update world coffee prices

Similarly, the price of Arabica coffee for delivery in December 2025 on the New York Stock Exchange decreased by 0.94% (3.65 US cents/pound) yesterday to 386.45 US cents/pound. The contract for delivery in March 2026 decreased by 1.24% (4.6 US cents/pound) to 364.35 US cents/pound.

Coffee prices are falling sharply as the US continues to sign new trade agreements with many countries, including major coffee exporters. The US currently imposes very high import tariffs on coffee: 50% for Brazil, 20% for Vietnam, 19% for Indonesia and 10% for Colombia.

Due to high tariffs, Brazilian coffee exports to the US have dropped sharply, while supplies from other countries such as Vietnam and Indonesia have increased. This change has made coffee prices in the US more expensive, increasing pressure on consumers and roasters.

Faced with this situation, coffee associations and exporting enterprises are working with the US Government to propose adding coffee to the list of goods that are not subject to tax, because this is a product that the US cannot produce itself. If approved, import costs will be significantly reduced.

According to experts, when import tax is reduced to 0%, coffee prices can cool down quickly. At that time, American businesses will likely return to importing heavily from Brazil - the most traditional and stable source of supply.
