Vietnam coffee prices fall as new crop supply pushes export rice to $430 a tonne
Vietnamese coffee prices fell by 1,900 dong per kilogram amid weak demand and limited trading. The country’s 5% broken rice export price declined to $430 per tonne as the Summer-Autumn harvest added supply.
Weak demand weighs on Central Highlands coffee
Vietnamese coffee prices declined during the week as slow trading and weak buying offset tightening end-of-season supply. In the Central Highlands, prices ranged from 95,300 to 96,000 dong per kilogram, down 1,900 dong per kilogram from the previous weekend, according to Tin Tức, the Vietnam News Agency publication.
In Lâm Đồng, procurement prices fell by 1,900 dong per kilogram to 95,800-96,000 dong. Gia Lai and Đắk Lắk recorded the same reduction, with coffee trading at 95,800 dong per kilogram. A Central Highlands trader cited by Tin Tức described activity as subdued: stocks are gradually being depleted near the end of the crop season, but demand is also limited.
Futures rebound as traders assess US tariffs
International coffee futures recovered in the July 24 session. London robusta for September 2026 delivery rose by 1.23%, or $49, to $3,757 per tonne. New York arabica for September 2026 gained 1.42%, or 4.4 US cents, to 313.8 cents per pound. The arabica contract had touched its lowest level in two and a half weeks before short covering ahead of the weekend supported a rebound.
The market is also assessing an announcement made by US President Donald Trump on May 23 concerning tariffs of 10% to 12.5% on goods imported from 60 countries. The measures were presented as a replacement for a 10% global import tariff that had expired. The source did not specify which coffee origins or tariff lines would be covered, leaving market participants to evaluate the possible effect on trade.
Summer-Autumn rice supply pressures export quotations
Vietnam’s 5% broken rice export price fell to $430 per tonne from $445-450 in the previous week. Abundant Summer-Autumn supply is helping stabilise the export market, with about one-third of the planted area harvested. The Vietnam Food Association reported exports of 274,749 tonnes worth $137.725 million from July 1 to July 15. Cumulative shipments through July 15 reached 5.3 million tonnes valued at $2.52 billion. Compared with the same period of 2025, volume increased by 4.31%, while value declined by 3.85%.
Domestic paddy prices in An Giang were mostly unchanged. Fresh OM 18 and Đài Thơm 8 stood at 6,800-7,000 dong per kilogram, while IR 50404 was quoted at 6,100-6,200 dong. Regional export competition was mixed: Indian 5% broken parboiled rice rose to $356-361 per tonne as uneven monsoon rainfall tightened paddy supply, while Thai 5% broken rice increased to $450-460. In Bangladesh, floods damaged 28,610 hectares of crops across 12 districts after earlier rains caused a shortfall of more than 200,000 tonnes of summer rice, adding pressure to domestic prices.
