In early July 2024, Robusta coffee prices in the domestic market generally trended upward. This price increase was driven by a shortage of local supply and high international Robusta prices.

According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Vietnam's coffee production for the 2023/2024 season is expected to decrease by 20% compared to the 2022/2023 season, falling to 1.47 million tons— the lowest in four years. The forecast for the 2024/2025 season suggests further reductions due to adverse weather conditions and pest issues that are shrinking the cultivated area.

Data from the General Department of Customs shows that in June 2024, Vietnam's coffee exports reached 70.2 thousand tons, worth $ 322.41 million, representing a decrease of 11.5% in volume and 5.0% in value compared to May 2024. Compared to June 2023, this represents a 50.4% drop in volume and a 15.1% drop in value.

In the first half of 2024, Vietnam exported 893.82 thousand tons of coffee, valued at nearly $ 3.2 billion, which is an 11.4% decrease in volume but a 33.2% increase in value compared to the same period last year.

It is forecasted that coffee exports will continue to decline in the third quarter due to dwindling supply. Supply is expected to increase again in October when the 2024/2025 harvest season begins.

Thus, on 07/25/2024, domestic coffee prices are trading around VND 124,000 - 124,700/kg.
