Although the Central Highlands provinces are facing bad weather due to prolonged heavy rains, farmers here are still pushing to harvest coffee because the coffee is ripe, if not harvested, the coffee beans will crack, seriously affecting the quality. In addition, world coffee prices have also begun to stagnate and slightly decrease on some exchanges, so it is likely that farmers will sell to take profits to avoid a sharp drop in coffee prices.

In addition, according to information from the Brazilian Coffee Exporters Association (CECAFE), Brazil and other major producing countries will continue to boost coffee exports after the 2024-2025 harvest, contributing to supplementing short-term market supply and putting pressure on prices. The Brazilian Coffee Exporters Association (CECAFE) announced that in November, this South American country exported 4.66 million 60-kg bags of coffee, up 5.4% over the same month in 2023. In the first 11 months of 2024, Brazil's coffee exports reached a record of nearly 46.4 million bags, exceeding 3.78% compared to the highest level recorded in 2020 and increasing 32.2% over the same period in 2023. Previously, the Brazilian Government announced that in November, the country exported more than 285,000 tons of green coffee, up 21.6% over the same period in 2023.

Accordingly, experts predict that coffee prices tomorrow, December 16, 2024, will stagnate and tend to decrease slightly.
