Coffee prices rise due to US-Brazil trade tensions
Coffee prices rose sharply in the first trading session of the week in response to the US threat to impose a 50% tariff on most goods imported from Brazil. US roasters have stepped up purchases to stock up before the new tax policy takes effect on August 1, according to Reuters.
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said he hoped to resolve the tensions through diplomatic means, but he also affirmed that there would be retaliatory measures if the US officially imposed new tariffs.
The United States is currently the world’s largest coffee consumer, with Brazil accounting for about 33% of the country’s coffee imports. An American trader said that if the 50% tax rate is applied, roasters will rush to buy all the Brazilian coffee that has arrived at the port with the old 10% tax rate, and may even cancel old contracts to avoid the high tax.
Experts warn that the new tariffs could halt nearly all coffee exports from Brazil to the U.S., and that the U.S. would have difficulty finding alternative sources of supply at comparable prices and volumes.
The new tax policy will not only affect the supply chain but also push up domestic coffee prices in the US – which are already high – further, thereby putting pressure on consumption. In the long term, if Brazil shifts its exports to other markets, world coffee prices will also be under pressure to increase.

Vietnam benefits as two rivals face tariffs
Market information shows that Indonesia and Brazil are facing high taxes when exporting pepper to the US from the beginning of August 2025, at 32% and 50% respectively.
In that context, Vietnamese pepper has a clear competitive advantage in the US market, which prioritizes stable supply and affordable prices.
According to the International Pepper Community (IPC), the market last week had many mixed fluctuations: in India, domestic and export pepper prices decreased simultaneously; Indonesia recorded a decrease in black pepper prices, while white pepper remained stable; in Malaysia, white pepper prices remained the same but other types decreased; on the contrary, Sri Lanka recorded an increase in domestic pepper prices.
In the Vietnamese market, domestic black pepper prices tended to decrease last week, while white pepper prices remained stable. Meanwhile, Cambodia saw an increase in black pepper prices, and the Chinese market had no fluctuations in white pepper.
