VINAGRI News - The continuous rally in global coffee prices has fueled a sharp increase in Vietnam’s domestic market, signaling strong optimism across the industry. On September 27, coffee prices in key Central Highlands provinces surged by VND 2,600 per kilogram, pushing the average to VND 115,500 per kilogram - the highest level in the past 2 weeks.
In the global market, coffee prices ended the week with strong gains. At the close on September 26, Robusta coffee on the London exchange for November 2025 delivery rose USD 107 per tonne (up 2.6%) to USD 4,201 per tonne, while Arabica coffee on the New York exchange for December 2025 delivery gained 6.7 cents per pound (up 1.8%) to USD 3.78 per pound (1 lb = 0.4535 kg).
According to Mr. Le Duc Huy, Chairman of the Members’ Council at Simexco Daklak, the company’s coffee export value in the first eight months of 2025 has increased 60 - 70% year-on-year, in line with the overall industry trend. The surge is mainly attributed to record-high global prices for both Arabica and Robusta, driven by global supply shortages. Meanwhile, Vietnamese Robusta coffee continues to be highly valued for its superior quality compared to many other producing countries.
Vietnam’s coffee exports received further positive news as the European Union (EU) announced a postponement of the implementation deadline for the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) to December 30, 2026, instead of the original 2024 timeline. This marks the second delay, following a previous extension to the end of 2025 by the European Commission (EC).
Industry experts and coffee exporters believe the additional year will give Vietnamese businesses more time to review their supply chains, invest in traceability technologies, and strengthen compliance capabilities to meet the EU’s stringent requirements. The EU remains Vietnam’s largest coffee export market, accounting for over 63% of total shipments in the first eight months of 2025.
