AsemconnectVietnam - According to Kinhtedothi, Vietnam’s domestic coffee prices fell on Wednesday morning, tracking losses on global exchanges, with London robusta futures dropping below $3,800 per tonne amid expectations of a potentially record crop in Brazil, traders said.

Domestic market
As of 10:30 a.m., coffee prices in the Central Highlands ranged between 94,000 and 95,500 dong per kg, down 1,000–1,200 dong per kg from the previous session.
Lam Dong recorded the sharpest decline, falling 1,200 dong per kg to 94,000 dong per kg, the lowest level in the region. Dak Nong slipped 1,000 dong per kg to 95,500 dong per kg, while Dak Lak and Gia Lai each fell 1,000 dong per kg to 95,300 dong per kg.
The USD/VND exchange rate was quoted at 25,700 dong per dollar, up 35 dong, according to Vietcombank.
Global market
On the London exchange, March 2026 robusta futures fell 2.05%, or $79 per tonne, to $3,755 per tonne on Feb. 10. The May 2026 contract declined 2.09%, also down $79, to $3,691 per tonne.
On the New York exchange, March 2026 arabica futures dropped 1.87%, or 5.65 U.S. cents per lb, to 294.2 cents per lb. The May contract lost 1.06%, or 3.15 cents per lb, to 290.7 cents per lb.
Traders told Reuters that the recent downturn had been driven mainly by favourable weather conditions in Brazil, which could lead to a record harvest this year.
Export data and supply trends
According to the International Coffee Organization (ICO), global green coffee exports in December 2025 rose 9.2% year-on-year to 10.15 million 60-kg bags, supported largely by robusta shipments from Asia and arabica exports from Central America.
Global robusta exports surged 26.5% from a year earlier to 4.5 million bags, with Vietnam — the world’s top producer — posting a 31.1% increase. Uganda and Indonesia also recorded higher robusta shipments, a variety widely used in instant coffee and espresso blends.
By contrast, global arabica exports fell 1.5% to 5.65 million bags in December. Colombian arabica shipments dropped 19.4% to 1.11 million bags, while Brazil’s natural arabica exports declined 11.9% to 3.01 million bags. Other mild arabica exports, including from Honduras, Nicaragua and Peru, jumped 61.7% to 1.53 million bags.
Separately, Brazil’s coffee exports in January totalled 2.78 million 60-kg bags, down nearly 31% from more than 4 million bags in the same month last year, according to exporters’ group Cecafe.
Arabica exports fell 29.1% to 2.35 million bags, while canephora shipments — including robusta and conilon — dropped nearly 46% to 181,559 bags.
Cecafe President Marcio Ferreira said in a statement that the decline reflected high farmer capitalisation levels, tighter arabica availability and strong domestic demand for canephora coffee. He added that exports were expected to remain constrained until the new crop begins.
Germany was Brazil’s largest coffee export destination in January, accounting for 391,704 bags, or 14.1% of total shipments, followed by the United States.
Market participants said price volatility was likely to persist as investors weighed improving crop prospects in Brazil against tight near-term supplies in some producing countries.
