Vietnam agricultural market on May 22: Domestic coffee prices eased, rice supply tightened ahead of new harvest 

 Friday, May 22,2026

AsemconnectVietnam - On the morning of May 22, 2026, Vietnam’s agricultural market saw coffee prices declined in line with global trends, while rice prices firmed due to dwindling domestic supply. Meanwhile, export rice prices remained elevated, and both live hog and pepper markets held near peak levels.

Coffee prices eased on global supply pressure
Domestic coffee prices edged down to around 85,500–86,100 dong per kg across the Central Highlands. Dak Nong (Lam Dong) posted the sharpest drop of 200 dong per kg but still recorded the highest purchase price at 86,100 dong per kg. In Dak Lak and Gia Lai, prices fell by 100 dong per kg to 86,000 dong per kg, while Lam Dong continued to see the lowest level at about 85,500 dong per kg.
On the global market, coffee prices weakened after a technical rebound, pressured by expectations of a bumper crop in Brazil. London robusta futures for July 2026 fell by 17 USD per tonne to 3,328 USD per tonne, while the September contract rose slightly by 6 USD per tonne to 3,214 USD per tonne. In New York, arabica futures for July 2026 dropped by 1.85 US cents per pound to 268.3 US cents per pound, and the September contract declined to 260.5 US cents per pound.
Pepper prices remained firmly stable
Domestic pepper prices held steady between 139,000 and 142,000 dong per kg. Dak Lak and Dak Nong (Lam Dong) continued to lead at around 142,000 dong per kg. Ba Ria–Vung Tau traded at 141,000 dong per kg, followed by Dong Nai at 140,000 dong per kg, while Gia Lai posted the lowest level at 139,000 dong per kg.
Globally, the market showed mixed movements due to exchange rates, supply conditions, and harvest expectations. Indonesian black pepper remained unchanged at 7,050 USD per tonne, Brazil’s ASTA 570 traded around 6,250 USD per tonne, and Malaysia held the highest level at 9,300 USD per tonne. Vietnam’s export black pepper prices were stable at 6,100–6,200 USD per tonne.
For white pepper, Indonesia’s Muntok stood at 9,244 USD per tonne, while Vietnam and Malaysia were quoted at 9,000 USD per tonne and 12,200 USD per tonne, respectively.
Rice market tightened, export advantage maintained
Rice prices in the Mekong Delta remained stable amid slow trading, as end-of-season supplies were nearly exhausted. Early Summer-Autumn harvest rice began entering the market with relatively strong demand, lifting prices in some areas, though weaker in Tay Ninh due to unfavorable weather.
Farmers in An Giang, Dong Thap, Can Tho, Ca Mau, and Vinh Long offered high prices, resulting in sluggish transactions. According to the An Giang Department of Agriculture and Environment, fresh paddy prices for OM 18 and Dai Thom 8 ranged from 6,500 to 6,700 dong per kg. OM 5451 was traded at 5,800–6,000 dong per kg, IR 50404 at 5,400–5,500 dong per kg, and OM 34 at 5,100–5,200 dong per kg.
For raw rice, OM 5451 was priced at 9,550–9,650 dong per kg, Dai Thom 8 at 9,200–9,400 dong per kg, OM 18 at 8,700–8,850 dong per kg, and IR 504 at 8,400–8,550 dong per kg. Finished IR 504 rice held at 10,750–10,900 dong per kg.
In exports, Vietnam maintained strong competitiveness. Jasmine rice was quoted at 525–529 USD per tonne, while 5% broken rice stood at 510–520 USD per tonne, significantly higher than India’s 342–346 USD per tonne and competing closely with Thailand’s 426–430 USD per tonne.
Durian prices showed strong quality-based divergence
Durian prices continued to diverge sharply, especially between export-grade and lower-quality products. Thai durian prices fell by 2,000–5,000 dong per kg, while Ri6 increased by 1,000–3,000 dong per kg.
In the Mekong Delta, Thai durian grade A (VIP and selected) was traded at 80,000 dong per kg, while grade B stood at 60,000 dong per kg. Ri6 grade A ranged from 49,000 to 55,000 dong per kg, and grade B from 34,000 to 40,000 dong per kg.
In other regions such as Tay Ninh and Dong Nai, Ri6 grade A ranged between 47,000 and 52,000 dong per kg, and grade B between 32,000 and 37,000 dong per kg. In the premium segment, Musang King grade A in the Mekong Delta and Binh Phuoc ranged from 84,000 to 90,000 dong per kg, while Black Thorn reached 105,000–110,000 dong per kg.
Domestic rubber prices remained steady
Domestic rubber prices held stable among major companies. Mang Yang Rubber Company purchased latex at 463 and 458 dong per TSC kg for grades 1 and 2, respectively, while coagulated rubber ranged from 404 to 459 dong per kg.
Ba Ria Rubber Company applied latex prices from 442 to 452 dong per TSC kg depending on concentration, with coagulated rubber at 13,500–18,000 dong per kg. Binh Long Rubber Company listed latex at 432 dong per TSC kg and coagulated rubber at 14,000 dong per kg.
Globally, however, rubber markets faced downward pressure. Japan’s TOCOM remained flat in near-term contracts but fell 2.24% for the September 2026 contract. Shanghai futures fluctuated narrowly around 17,400–17,500 CNY per tonne. The strongest selling pressure was seen in Singapore, where TSR20 contracts for July and September 2026 dropped by 4.74% and 2.03%, respectively.
Live hog prices held firm
Live hog prices remained stable at relatively high levels, ranging from 67,000 to 70,000 dong per kg. In the north, Cao Bang was the only province to record a slight increase of 1,000 dong per kg to 68,000 dong per kg.
Hung Yen maintained the highest price in the region at 70,000 dong per kg, followed by Hanoi and Hai Phong at 69,000 dong per kg, while other provinces held at 68,000 dong per kg.
Central, Central Highlands, and southern markets were largely unchanged. In the south, Dong Nai led at 70,000 dong per kg, Ho Chi Minh City followed at 69,000 dong per kg, and Mekong Delta provinces averaged 68,000 dong per kg. In the central region, Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, Ha Tinh, and Lam Dong recorded 69,000 dong per kg, while Gia Lai remained the lowest at 67,000 dong per kg.
