Vietnam coffee farmgate prices rise on tight supply

In the main producing regions, Dak Lak, Gia Lai and Dak Nong all climbed to 93,200 dong/kg, the session high, while Lam Dong lagged at 92,500 dong/kg. That leaves the domestic range narrow at just 700 dong/kg, but the direction is what counts after two days of flat trading around 93,000 dong.

Global coffee markets were also firmer. Robusta futures in London rose across the tracked maturities, with the November 2026 contract up 8 dollars to 3,478 dollars a ton. Arabica in New York outperformed, with the March 2027 contract gaining 3.70 cents, or 1.32%, to 283.50 cents a pound.

The synchronized gains in both grades provide support for Vietnamese prices even as fresh harvest supply from the Central Highlands starts to build. If arrivals accelerate and exporters do not step up buying, local prices could struggle to hold above 93,000 dong and retreat from the 94,000 dong level now back in view.

For investors, the key question is whether the recent rebound marks a temporary pause or the start of another leg higher in a market that has already swung sharply this month. Volatility in coffee futures can quickly shift margins for traders, exporters and consumer brands, while higher green-bean costs can eventually feed into packaged coffee and café pricing.

The near-term catalyst is the pace of harvest sales in Vietnam and whether London robusta can keep trading above 3,400 dollars a ton as global supply concerns and weather risks remain in focus.
