In the third quarter, domestic coffee prices rebounded sharply after a period of decline in the second quarter, reaching an average of VND116,000/kg at the end of September, up 20% compared to early July. In October, prices fell slightly to VND113,000 - 114,000/kg, VND21,500 lower than the peak in March but equivalent to the same period in 2024.

Some businesses predict that coffee supply in the 2025-2026 crop year may still be in short supply. Although output is expected to increase, weather factors and harvest progress in key growing regions such as the Central Highlands will be decisive.

According to experts, coffee prices are unlikely to fall significantly because farmers are not under great selling pressure. The high prices of other agricultural products such as pepper and durian help farmers earn more income, thereby allowing them to hold onto their products and wait for better prices. If supply to the market is limited, prices may stay around VND120,000/kg, but when sales increase sharply, prices may drop to around VND100,000/kg.

Pepper prices increased slightly

Today, November 3, 2025, pepper prices in key regions increased from 500 to 1,000 VND/kg, trading around 145,500 - 148,000 VND/kg.

World pepper prices are stable

According to the International Pepper Community (IPC), as of November 3, 2025, pepper prices in many countries remain unchanged.

Specifically, Indonesia's Lampung black pepper reached 7,213 USD/ton, while Muntok white pepper reached 10,064 USD/ton, both unchanged. In Brazil, ASTA 570 black pepper stood at 6,100 USD/ton. Malaysia maintained the price of ASTA black pepper at 9,200 USD/ton and ASTA white pepper at 12,300 USD/ton. Vietnam's pepper prices remained stable: 500 gr/l black pepper reached 6,400 USD/ton, 550 gr/l reached 6,600 USD/ton; white pepper reached 9,050 USD/ton.

Last week, domestic pepper prices increased by 3,500 - 5,000 VND/kg compared to the previous week. Dak Lak and Dak Nong (Lam Dong province) increased the most by 5,000 VND/kg; Binh Phuoc (Dong Nai province) increased by 4,000 VND/kg; Gia Lai and Ba Ria - Vung Tau (Ho Chi Minh City) both increased by 3,500 VND/kg.

The new crop supply is not yet available while the domestic pepper supply is still low, so the domestic pepper price is expected to remain high. Farmers tend to hoard their products and wait for better prices, reducing selling pressure and contributing to stabilizing the market.

In the first nine months of 2025, Vietnam exported 188,000 tons of pepper, earning US$1.27 billion. Although output decreased by 6.3%, value increased by 28.7% as the average export price reached US$6,774/ton - 37% higher than the same period last year.

The US's 40% tax policy on transit goods has forced Vietnamese businesses to limit imports of raw pepper from Brazil and switch to domestic purchases. Along with low inventories, domestic pepper prices are stable at around 150,000 - 151,000 VND/kg, creating a new price level for the market.
