Domestic coffee prices in Vietnam rose strongly on January 28, 2026, trading at VND102,500–103,300/kg, up significantly from previous sessions, amid a sharp fall in the U.S. dollar and continued tight global supply.
Lam Dong (Di Linh, Lam Ha, Bao Loc): VND102,500/kg
Dak Lak (Cu M’gar): VND103,100/kg; Ea H’leo, Buon Ho: VND103,000/kg
Dak Nong (Gia Nghia, Dak R’lap): VND103,200–103,300/kg
Gia Lai (Chu Prong): VND102,800/kg; Pleiku, La Grai: VND102,700/kg

On the global market, coffee futures closed higher on both exchanges.
Robusta futures in London for March 2026 gained USD78/tonne to USD4,275/tonne, while the May 2026 contract rose USD79/tonne to USD4,192/tonne.
Arabica futures in New York for March 2026 climbed 11 cents/lb to 367.25 cents/lb, and the May 2026 contract rose 8.6 cents/lb to 346.7 cents/lb.
Prices were supported by a sharp decline in the U.S. Dollar Index, which fell 1.30% to 95.78, as investors reassessed the dollar’s safe-haven role amid trade uncertainty and U.S. monetary policy concerns. Domestically, limited supply and farmers’ holding sentiment continued to underpin prices, despite potential selling pressure in the medium to long term.
In 2025, coffee exports soared to a record-breaking $8.92 billion - up 58.8% from the previous year - earning a spot among the top three agricultural exports by value, alongside seafood and wood products.
For the 2024–2025 crop year, Vietnam accounted for just 18% of global coffee export volume. However, the country retained its lead in robusta exports, making up 43% of global robusta shipments.
