In Di Linh, Lâm Hà, and Bảo Lộc districts (Lâm Đồng province), coffee is being purchased at 128,000 VND/kg. In Cư M'gar district (Đắk Lắk), today's coffee price is 130,000 VND/kg. In Ea H'leo and Buôn Hồ districts (Đắk Lắk), coffee is bought at 129,900 VND/kg.

At the close of the latest trading session, Robusta coffee prices in London for May 2025 contracts dropped by 143 USD/ton to 5,407 USD/ton, while July 2025 contracts fell by 137 USD/ton to 5,369 USD/ton.

On the New York exchange, Arabica coffee prices for May 2025 contracts dropped by 8.9 cents/lb to 375.9 cents/lb, while July 2025 contracts decreased by 8 cents/lb to 366.9 cents/lb.

This marks the second consecutive sharp decline in coffee prices since the beginning of the week. As predicted by 12 traders and analysts in a Reuters survey, coffee demand is expected to stagnate in response to the current high coffee prices.

The median forecast for Arabica coffee prices at the end of 2025 is 2.95 USD/pound, 6% lower than at the end of 2024. According to Reuters' survey, Robusta coffee prices are expected to end 2025 at 4,200 USD/ton, a 14% drop compared to late 2024. If this forecast holds, coffee prices will need to drop another 1,000 USD/ton from now until the end of the year.

The ongoing sell-off continues as investors worry about recovering coffee inventories, while consumption demand shows signs of slowing.

The meteorological agency reported that rainfall in Minas Gerais – Brazil's largest Arabica-producing region – reached only 11.4 mm last week, 76% lower than the historical average. However, this has not been enough to support prices, as the market remains under pressure from abundant supply.

Domestically, buying demand has weakened as businesses have completed short-term export orders. Meanwhile, new harvest supplies are still entering the market, preventing coffee prices from recovering.
