On the morning of October 21, 2025, domestic coffee prices remained unchanged from the previous session, continuing to maintain a stable state after a period of slight increase.

In Di Linh, Lam Ha and Bao Loc areas ( Lam Dong ), coffee was purchased at 113,500 VND/kg, no change compared to yesterday.

In Cu M'gar ( Dak Lak ), coffee price is currently recorded at 114,500 VND/kg, while in Ea H'leo and Buon Ho, the price remains at 114,400 VND/kg - equivalent to yesterday.

In Dak Nong , coffee price this morning was at 114,500 VND/kg; Gia Nghia and Dak R'lap both reached 114,400 VND/kg, unchanged from the previous session.

In Gia Lai, coffee was purchased at 114,000 VND/kg in Chu Prong and 113,900 VND/kg in Pleiku and La Grai - prices unchanged from yesterday.

According to the Vietnam Commodity Exchange (MXV), coffee prices continued to be the focus of attention in the global raw material market last week. In the international market, Arabica increased by more than 6.5% to 8,762 USD/ton, while Robusta increased by 1.6% to 4,552 USD/ton.

This is the third consecutive week of rising coffee prices, reflecting strong consumption demand and abundant investment capital from both domestic and international markets. Experts say the recovery trend of coffee prices is still maintained thanks to the decline in global inventories and concerns about supply shortages from major producing countries.

However, downward pressure on prices may appear as the harvest season begins in Central America and Vietnam. In the next 3-5 months, supplies are expected to be more abundant before Brazil enters the new crop period of 2026-2027.

Benefiting from the international price increase, Vietnam's coffee industry is recording positive results. According to the Vietnam Customs Department, in September 2025, the export volume reached 81,000 tons, equivalent to a value of 462 million USD - an increase of more than 60% compared to the same period last year.

Pepper prices increased sporadically

Pepper prices on October 21, 2025 in many key growing areas increased slightly by VND 500/kg, bringing domestic prices to between VND 144,000 - 146,000/kg.

In Dak Lak, pepper prices are still stable at 146,000 VND/kg, while in Gia Lai they remain at 144,000 VND/kg.

In the world market, according to the International Pepper Association (IPC), updated to October 19, 2025, the price of Indonesian Lampung black pepper increased slightly by 0.03% to 7,230 USD/ton, while Muntok white pepper also increased by 0.03% to 10,088 USD/ton.

The price of Brazilian ASTA 570 black pepper remained at USD 6,100/ton, while Malaysian ASTA black pepper remained stable at USD 9,500/ton. The price of ASTA white pepper of this country also remained unchanged at USD 12,500/ton.

Vietnamese pepper prices remain stable: black pepper 500 gr/l reaches 6,400 USD/ton, 550 gr/l reaches 6,600 USD/ton; white pepper remains at 9,050 USD/ton.

Thus, the domestic pepper market has shown signs of slight improvement, contributing to strengthening farmers' confidence after a long period of low prices. Some agents predict that pepper prices may continue to rise if export demand increases sharply at the end of the year.

Major import markets such as India, the Middle East and Europe are maintaining positive signals, helping Vietnamese businesses boost purchases to meet peak export demand at the end of the year.

According to analysts, pepper prices are likely to continue to increase slightly as import demand recovers while new supply remains limited. Vietnam is expected to benefit greatly from this trend thanks to improved pepper quality and good compliance with international standards.

If the US dollar remains weak and transportation costs remain stable, Vietnam's pepper export prices could continue to increase, helping farmers and businesses increase profits in the last months of 2025.

Thanks to that, pepper is becoming a bright spot in the agricultural market, bringing hope to growers and creating new development momentum for Vietnam's agricultural export industry.
