The coffee market is forecast to continue to increase shortly and Robusta coffee prices will soon return to US$4,000 a tonne. Experts predict that by 2024, Vietnam's coffee exports could reach $5 billion because many factors are attributable to the achievement including a high increase in prices.
The world’s rising demand for some green coffee products for instant coffee is also pushing domestic demand.
Vietnam's General Department of Customs reported that Vietnam's April coffee exports fell by 19.5% month on month and by 7% year on year to 152,073 tonnes. Vietnam's coffee exports in the remaining months of the second quarter of 2024 are forecasted to increase due to rising global demand.
The coffee consumption market in Europe is fluctuating due to the imbalance of supply and demand from Vietnam after Robusta coffee production fell below the average level in the 2022/2023 coffee crop year, estimated at 28.5 million bags in the 2023/2024 crop year.
Vietnam's agriculture department projected that Vietnam's coffee production in the 2023/24 crop year would drop by 20% to 1.472 million tonnes, the smallest crop in four years, due to drought. Also, the Vietnam Coffee Association said that Vietnam's 2023/24 coffee exports would drop by 20% yearly to 1.336 million tonnes.
