On the morning of October 21, 2025, domestic coffee prices remained unchanged compared to the previous session, continuing to maintain stability after a period of slight increases.

In the Di Linh, Lam Ha, and Bao Loc areas ( Lam Dong province ), coffee is being purchased at 113,500 VND/kg, unchanged from yesterday.

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

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

According to the Vietnam Commodity Exchange (MXV), coffee prices continued to be a focal point in the global raw materials market last week. On the international market, arabica rose by more than 6.5% to $8,762 per ton, while robusta increased by 1.6% to $4,552 per ton.

This marks the third consecutive week of rising coffee prices, reflecting strong consumer demand and abundant investment capital from both domestic and international markets. Experts believe the upward trend in coffee prices will continue due to declining global inventories and concerns about supply shortages from major producing countries.

However, downward price pressure may emerge as the harvest season begins in Central America and Vietnam. In the next 3-5 months, supply is expected to be more abundant before Brazil enters its new crop season of 2026-2027.

Benefiting from rising international prices, Vietnam's coffee industry is recording positive results. According to the Vietnam Customs Department, in September 2025, exports 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 are rising sporadically.

On October 21, 2025, pepper prices in many key growing regions increased slightly by 500 VND/kg, bringing domestic prices to fluctuate between 144,000 and 146,000 VND/kg.

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

Pepper prices in Lam Dong province remain at 146,000 VND/kg, unchanged from yesterday.

Similarly, in Dong Nai, the price of pepper also increased by 500 VND/kg, reaching 145,500 VND/kg.

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

Brazilian ASTA 570 black pepper prices remained at $6,100/ton, while Malaysian ASTA black pepper prices stayed unchanged at $9,500/ton. Prices for ASTA white pepper from the same country also remained stable at $12,500/ton.

Vietnamese pepper prices remain stable: black pepper (500 gr/l) reached US$6,400/ton, and (550 gr/l) reached US$6,600/ton; white pepper remained at US$9,050/ton.

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

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

Analysts predict that pepper prices are likely to continue rising slightly as import demand recovers while new supply remains limited. Vietnam is expected to benefit greatly from this trend due to improved pepper quality and compliance with international standards.

If the US dollar remains weak and shipping costs remain stable, the price of Vietnamese pepper exports could continue to rise, helping farmers and businesses increase profits in the final months of 2025.

As a result, pepper is becoming a bright spot in the agricultural market, bringing hope to growers and creating new impetus for the development of Vietnam's agricultural export industry.
