Global Coffee Market: Mixed Performance on the Two Exchanges
Robusta continued its downward trend following an extended holiday, while Arabica saw a strong rebound. The gains on the New York exchange matched the losses from earlier in the week.
At the close of the most recent session:
• Robusta (London):
o May 2025 contract: down 22 USD/ton to 5,231 USD/ton
o July 2025 contract: down 20 USD/ton to 5,257 USD/ton
• Arabica (New York):
o July 2025 contract: up 8.2 cents/lb to 372.75 cents/lb
o September 2025 contract: up 8.05 cents/lb to 366.5 cents/lb
Arabica recovered strongly, regaining exactly what it had lost earlier in the week, while Robusta remained under pressure as the market prepares for incoming harvests from Brazil and Indonesia.
Market Outlook
• Short-term:
Vietnamese coffee exports are expected to continue growing as the U.S. delays retaliatory tariffs on most trading partners, encouraging importers to buy more ahead of new tariff policies.
• Long-term:
Export challenges may arise due to:
o Declining domestic supply as the harvest season comes to an end
o Upcoming Robusta harvests in Brazil increasing global supply
o New trade policies possibly restricting market access
EUDR – A Major Challenge for Vietnamese Coffee
The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) will come into effect on:
• December 30, 2025 for large enterprises
• June 30, 2026 for small and medium enterprises
EUDR will significantly impact coffee supply to the EU, especially from major producing countries like Vietnam, Brazil, Colombia, and Indonesia. If producers fail to meet EUDR standards, EU-bound coffee exports may be restricted, reducing global supply and potentially driving up prices.
On the flip side, compliance costs — including implementing traceability technology, forest monitoring, and certification — will raise product costs, affecting global market prices. However, if many producers can't comply, they may redirect exports to less stringent markets such as the U.S. or China, potentially creating oversupply in those markets and localized price drops.
