Domestic coffee prices continue to decline sharply

Coffee prices in the Central Highlands provinces this morning, May 14, 2025, continued to decline sharply, down 2,200 - 2,500 VND/kg compared to the previous session. Currently, the average coffee purchase price in key areas is about 126,000 VND/kg.

Specifically, coffee prices in Dak Lak are currently trading at 125,500 VND/kg, Lam Dong is priced at 125,000 VND/kg, Gia Lai and Dak Nong both recorded 125,500 VND/kg.

Domestic coffee prices are being heavily influenced by international market conditions, especially Brazil, where abundant supplies and favorable weather conditions are boosting production, putting pressure on prices. Abundant robusta production and the prospect of a recovery in arabica are also contributing to the difficulty of maintaining high coffee prices.

Meanwhile, robusta harvests in Brazil and Indonesia have begun, pushing exports higher, while favorable weather in arabica growing regions has also reduced the risk of a production decline that pushed prices up in April.

In addition to supply factors, demand in major markets such as the US and Europe has also shown signs of slowing down as roasters have temporarily stopped buying due to high prices. The recent weakening of the Brazilian real has also encouraged farmers in this country to increase sales, creating downward pressure on coffee prices in the global market.

Pepper prices are stable

Pepper prices this morning, May 14, 2025, remained high, unchanged from the previous trading session. Currently, the average pepper price in key areas is about 151,300 VND/kg.

Specifically, pepper prices in Gia Lai remained stable at 151,000 VND/kg, Ba Ria - Vung Tau remained stable at 152,000 VND/kg, Binh Phuoc maintained the price at 151,500 VND/kg, and Dak Lak and Dak Nong continued to remain stable at 151,000 VND/kg.

In the international market, according to the International Pepper Community (IPC), the price of Indonesian Lampung black pepper is currently at 7,323 USD/ton, while Muntok white pepper is at 9,918 USD/ton. In Malaysia, the price of ASTA black pepper is currently traded at 9,200 USD/ton, while ASTA white pepper is priced at 11,900 USD/ton. Pepper prices in Brazil remain stable, maintaining at 6,800 USD/ton.

Vietnam's pepper export prices are also currently stable, with 500 g/l black pepper at 6,700 USD/ton, 550 g/l at 6,800 USD/ton and white pepper at 9,700 USD/ton.

Experts say that in the short term, pepper prices may remain high or even increase slightly due to continued global supply shortages while demand remains stable. Dry and hot weather in key growing regions is also putting pressure on output, contributing to higher prices.

Given the current market situation, pepper growers and traders should maintain flexible sales strategies, closely monitor market fluctuations and take advantage of export opportunities when prices increase to maximize profits.
