In Vietnam, on the morning of December 8, 2025, the Central Highlands recorded unchanged coffee prices, trading in the range of 103,300 - 104,000 VND/kg.
In Lam Dong province, the prices of coffee in Di Linh, Bao Loc and Lam Ha all remained at 103,300 VND/kg. In Dak Lak province, the price of coffee in Cu M'gar is currently 104,000 VND/kg, while Ea H'leo and Buon Ho recorded 103,900 VND/kg.
Traders in Gia Nghia and Dak R'lap ( Dak Nong ) are buying coffee at 104,000 and 103,900 VND/kg, respectively. In Gia Lai and Chu Prong, the price is 103,600 VND/kg, while Pleiku and La Grai are maintaining around 103,500 VND/kg.
During the week of December 1 - December 7, coffee prices in the Central Highlands fell sharply, ranging from 8,000 to 8,500 VND/kg. Specifically, Lam Dong decreased by 8,000 VND/kg; Dak Lak and Gia Lai both decreased by 8,300 VND/kg; Dak Nong alone decreased the most, by 8,500 VND/kg compared to the previous month.
The reason is explained by the weaker Brazilian Real against the USD, putting downward pressure on Arabica prices. In addition, the coffee harvest in Vietnam has entered its peak, causing a rapid increase in supply, creating additional pressure on the market.
According to experts, the Vietnamese coffee industry continues to hold a large position as export turnover continuously sets records. In 2025, the export value is expected to exceed 8 billion USD, much higher than the 5.62 billion USD in 2024, making coffee the fastest growing commodity.
The trend of global coffee prices in the coming time will depend significantly on the progress of the harvest in Vietnam and the weather conditions in major growing regions in South America. Vietnam, especially the Central Highlands, still plays a central role, accounting for 90% of the country's coffee output. Lam Dong alone leads the region with more than 328,650 hectares and an output of about 200,000 tons.
This year’s crop is forecast to be 10% higher than last season. However, if more rains occur in the coming weeks, the quality of the beans could be affected, leading to new market volatility.
Pepper prices are stable
Last week, domestic pepper prices dropped sharply by 2,000 to 3,000 VND/kg. In Dak Lak, the purchase price is currently 149,000 VND/kg, unchanged from yesterday. In Chu Se (Gia Lai), the price is 147,500 VND/kg, while in Dak Nong, it is 149,000 VND/kg, both stable compared to the previous day.
The Southeastern region still maintains stable pepper prices when Ba Ria - Vung Tau maintains the level of 147,500 VND/kg, Binh Phuoc at 148,000 VND/kg, no fluctuation compared to yesterday.
According to the latest data from the International Pepper Community (IPC), at the end of the recent session, Lampung black pepper (Indonesia) reached 6,995 USD/ton, while Muntok white pepper reached 9,643 USD/ton.
The price of Brazilian ASTA 570 black pepper is currently at USD 6,150/ton, while Malaysian ASTA black pepper is at USD 9,000/ton and the country's ASTA white pepper is at USD 12,000/ton.
In Vietnam, the price of 500 g/l black pepper is traded at 6,500 USD/ton, 550 g/l is 6,700 USD/ton; white pepper remains at 9,250 USD/ton.
In November 2025, pepper exports reached 18,582 tons, equivalent to 121.5 million USD. Although slightly down compared to the previous month, output increased by more than 16% and value increased by more than 14% compared to the same period in 2024, helping the market maintain stability. On average, the export price of black pepper reached 6,519 USD/ton and white pepper reached 8,072 USD/ton - higher than at the beginning of the year.
Key players continued to make significant contributions to export activities. Olam Vietnam recorded the strongest monthly increase with nearly 2,000 tons, while Phuc Sinh, Simexco Dak Lak and Nedspice also contributed significantly, helping to ensure a steady supply and keep prices within a stable range.
The US continued to be the largest import market with 4,587 tonnes, accounting for nearly 25% of total exports in November. The UAE, China, Germany and Thailand markets maintained high demand, contributing to supporting pepper prices. Although some countries reduced purchases due to economic difficulties, overall demand remained positive.
By the end of November 2025, the total pepper export volume reached 225,009 tons, worth nearly 1.52 billion USD - a new record for the industry. Export volume decreased slightly but value increased by more than 24% thanks to black pepper prices remaining above 6,600 USD/ton and white pepper above 8,600 USD/ton.
Over the 11 months, Olam Vietnam, Nedspice, Phuc Sinh and Simexco continued to be in the leading group, each accounting for 8-10% of total exports, contributing to the stability of global supply. Some enterprises, although reducing output, still increased value thanks to the benefit of high prices.
The US market remains the largest importer despite a decrease in volume compared to 2024, while the UAE and China have increased sharply, especially China with an increase of more than 83%, helping to balance exports. India and Germany also continue to be important markets despite slight fluctuations.
With the push from exports and international demand, pepper prices are currently stable and are expected to remain stable in the short term. The market supply-demand balance remains positive, supporting the sideways price trend in the coming time.
