Vietnam’s domestic coffee prices fell sharply on Monday morning as rising farm supply put heavy pressure on the market. Across the Central Highlands, the country’s main coffee-growing region, farm-gate prices were reported at 89,700–90,700 dong per kilogram, down 6,000–6,600 dong from last week, equivalent to a decline of 6.2–6.9 percent.
