All nine industrial raw material commodities recorded strong increases of 1.3%. Of these, coffee prices soared by 5.8%. Arabica coffee prices exceeded $5,091/ton, the highest in the past five weeks; at the same time, Robusta coffee prices hit a one-month high of $4,120/ton.
MXV said that narrowing supplies in major producing countries are causing concerns about coffee shortages in the market, thereby supporting prices to rise again.
In its latest report, the Brazilian government ’s Crop Supply Agency CONAB lowered its forecast for the country’s Robusta coffee output by 600,000 bags to 16.7 million. Meanwhile, StoneX estimated that Vietnam’s coffee output could reach only 24 million bags, the lowest in the past four years, mainly due to climate change.
In the domestic market, on the morning of May 28, the price of green coffee beans in the Central Highlands and the Southern provinces increased by 500 VND/kg, bringing the domestic coffee purchase price to 115,700 - 117,200 VND/kg.
