Domestic coffee prices remain high

At 5:00 a.m. on July 28, 2025, domestic coffee prices remained high, unchanged from yesterday's decline. In key areas, the average coffee purchase price was at VND95,300/kg.

Specifically, traders in Lam Dong purchased coffee at 95,600 VND/kg, unchanged from the previous day.

In Dak Lak province, the price is currently kept at 95,500 VND/kg, equivalent to yesterday.

Gia Lai province maintains coffee prices at 95,400 VND/kg, with no fluctuations.

In Lam Dong area such as Ward 1 Bao Loc, Hoa Ninh commune, Duc Trong and Dinh Van Lam Ha, coffee price remains unchanged, currently at 95,000 VND/kg.

Last week, coffee prices in the Central Highlands increased by VND1,500 to VND1,700 per kilogram compared to the previous week. This is also the second consecutive week that domestic coffee prices have increased. Specifically, prices in Lam Dong increased by VND1,600 per kilogram and in Dak Lak by VND1,700 per kilogram.

Gia Lai recorded an increase of VND1,600/kg during the week. Lam Dong alone also increased by VND1,500/kg. Notably, coffee prices at one point increased sharply to nearly VND98,000/kg - the highest level in the past 5 weeks.

According to Reuters, the reason for the continued increase in coffee prices in Vietnam is that domestic and Indonesian farmers are limiting sales, expecting prices to continue to rise. A trader in Dak Lak said: "Farmers do not want to sell at this time because they hope prices will exceed VND100,000/kg."

Some traders said the market was showing signs of slowing down as many parties switched to importing coffee from Indonesia and Brazil at lower prices. However, one trader said: "The harvest in Vietnam will start in October, so farmers are unlikely to be able to hold on to their stocks for too long."

Pepper prices continue to remain high

According to an update from the International Pepper Community (IPC) at 4:30 a.m. on July 28, 2025, the global pepper market remained stable, with no significant fluctuations compared to the most recent session.

Specifically, IPC announced the price of Lampung black pepper (Indonesia) at 7,136 USD/ton, while Muntok white pepper was priced at 9,975 USD/ton.

Malaysian pepper prices continued to remain stable, with ASTA black pepper priced at USD 8,900/ton and ASTA white pepper at USD 11,750/ton.

Vietnam's pepper export market remains stable, unchanged from the previous trading session. The price of 500g/l black pepper is currently at 6,440 USD/ton, 550g/l at 6,570 USD/ton, and white pepper at 9,150 USD/ton.

In the past week, key pepper producing localities recorded a decrease of 1,000 to 2,000 VND/kg compared to the previous week. Specifically, Dak Lak and Lam Dong both decreased by 2,000 VND/kg, while Gia Lai decreased by 1,000 VND/kg. Provinces in the Southeast such as Ho Chi Minh City and Dong Nai also decreased by 1,000 VND/kg.

In the coming time, domestic pepper prices are likely to fluctuate within the range of 136,000 to 138,500 VND/kg. The main reason is that supply and demand are quite balanced, making it difficult for the market to create large fluctuations in the short term.

In the medium term, if exports accelerate towards the end of the year and the international market shows signs of a strong recovery, pepper prices could receive significant support. Experts recommend that farmers keep a close eye on market fluctuations and choose the right time to sell, avoiding a sell-off when prices have not yet peaked.

According to the latest report from the Vietnam Pepper Association (VPSA), global pepper output in 2025 is forecast to decrease by 7.8% compared to 2024. This is the third consecutive year of global output decline. Although Brazil has increased output, that increase cannot compensate for the sharp decline in major producing countries such as India and Indonesia. As a result, total global output is still lower than the previous year.
