Coffee price today March 30, 2025: Continued slight decrease

Domestic coffee prices today

Domestic coffee prices today, March 30, 2025 in the Central Highlands region decreased slightly compared to yesterday, fluctuating between 131,200 - 132,300 VND/kg.

Accordingly, traders in Dak Nong province are purchasing coffee at the highest price of 132,300 VND/kg. No change compared to yesterday.

Similarly, coffee prices in Dak Lak province are at VND132,300/kg, unchanged from yesterday.

Coffee prices in Gia Lai province decreased by VND100/kg and were traded at VND132,200/kg.

In Lam Dong province, coffee prices decreased by VND100/kg and reached VND131,200/kg.

Regarding the difference between coffee prices on the London floor and domestic prices in Vietnam, Mr. Thai Nhu Hiep, Vice President of VICOFA, said that these two markets operate relatively independently. When coffee prices are high, world roasters only buy when absolutely necessary, even if the domestic price is lower than the international floor price, they are not in a hurry to buy.

Mr. Hiep also shared that in the past, the export price of coffee was often based on the London floor price minus the shipping cost (called "backward price"), but this is no longer common. There are even times when real coffee is sold at a higher price than the London floor price due to urgent demand from buyers.

World coffee prices today

Coffee prices on the world market fell sharply on both exchanges:

Robusta Coffee (London):

Delivery in May 2025: Down 14 USD/ton, up to 5,337 USD/ton.

July 2025 delivery: Down 7 USD/ton, up to 5,354 USD/ton.

Arabica Coffee (New York):

May 2025 delivery: Up 1.15 cents/lb, to 379.95 cents/lb.

July 2025 delivery: Up 1.45 cents/lb, to 376.4 cents/lb.

Robusta coffee is facing downward pressure as global supply is forecast to increase sharply. According to Marex Solutions, Vietnam’s robusta output is estimated at 28.8 million bags in the 2025–2026 crop year, up 7.9%; while Brazil is also expected to reach 25 million bags, up 13.6%.

According to Reuters, major coffee companies such as Lavazza, illy, Nestlé and JDE Peet's are negotiating with retailers to raise prices due to rising raw material costs. Green coffee accounts for about 40% of the wholesale cost of roasted coffee, so if last year's raw material price increase is passed on in full this year, the price to consumers could increase by as much as 28%.

Reg Watson, head of research at ING Bank, said the increase in coffee prices would range from 15 to 25 percent. Some markets could feel the increase very quickly.

Roasters are now adopting a “conservative” buying strategy, buying only the bare minimum. Coffee warehouses near U.S. ports are holding half their normal levels of inventory.

It is noteworthy that although the coffee market is at the end of the season, supply is tight, but prices tend to decrease, confusing the market.
