Coffee prices 27/2: Sharp decline for 3 consecutive days, market weakens

Domestic coffee prices on 27/2 continued to fall sharply, fluctuating between 127,000 – 129,000 VND/kg. This is the third consecutive day of sharp price declines, causing historical milestones to move away. Meanwhile, world coffee prices are also under pressure due to the sell-off trend and concerns about consumption demand.

World coffee prices today 27/2

The world coffee market continues to fluctuate:

Robusta coffee (London):

Delivery in March 2025: Down 38 USD/ton, to 5,369 USD/ton.

Delivery in May 2025: Down 36 USD/ton, to 5,333 USD/ton.

Arabica Coffee (New York):

Delivery in March 2025: Down 5.25 cents/lb to 370.65 cents/lb.

Delivery in May 2025: Down 5.6 cents/lb to 361.3 cents/lb.

According to a Reuters survey, the coffee market is weakening after reaching too high prices in the past, causing consumption demand to decrease. Investment funds are gradually narrowing long-term buying positions, while demand from roasters is also showing signs of decreasing.

Rabobank said coffee exports from Brazil – the world’s largest producer – are slowing due to concerns about a lower-than-expected arabica crop. Inventories in Brazil are running low, putting further pressure on supply. For Vietnam, new crop exports are also showing signs of slowing, but if prices fall sharply, exports could recover in the near future.

In addition, concerns about global consumer purchasing power are also affecting coffee prices. The US consumer confidence index fell sharply in February, down 7 points to 98.3 – the lowest in the past 8 months.

Weak purchasing demand as businesses have completed short-term export orders.
