(VAN) In 10 months of 2025, Viet Nam’s coffee exports reached 1.31 million tons, valued at 7.42 billion USD.
In early November 2025, global coffee prices continued to surge, setting new highs as supplies tightened and adverse weather conditions affected production.
In domestic market, Viet Nam’s coffee prices also rose sharply despite the harvest season. The main reason was the weakening of the U.S. dollar, while the local currencies of Vietnam and Brazil appreciated, making Robusta coffee more expensive on the international market.
In addition, prolonged flooding in the Central Highlands slowed the harvest and reduced supply, further pushing domestic prices upward. On November 10, 2025, coffee prices in the Central Highlands increased by 2,400 – 2,800 VND/kg compared to November 1, ranging from 118,200 to 119,700 VND/kg depending on the surveyed area.

However, by mid-November, the market began to show signs of correction. Domestic coffee prices on November 14 fell by another 500 VND per kilogram, after dropping sharply by 5,000 VND per kilogram on November 13, bringing prices down to around 112,000 VND per kilogram. Accordingly, on November 14, 2025, domestic coffee prices were recorded at around 110,500 – 112,500 VND per kilogram.
According to MAE’s report, coffee exports in October 2025 reached 71.9 thousand tons, valued at 403.5 million USD the highest level in history, up 61.8 percent in value. The average export price reached 5,653 USD per ton, an increase of 42.5 percent. Some markets showed remarkable growth, particularly Mexico, where export value surged 34.7 times.
In the first 10 months of 2025, Viet Nam exported 1.31 million tons of coffee worth 7.42 billion USD, an increase of 13.4 percent in volume and 61.9 percent in value compared to the same period in 2024.
Viet Nam’s coffee exports in the first ten months of 2025 posted positive growth thanks to high global coffee prices driven by reduced supply from Brazil and Indonesia.
Mr. Thai Nhu Hiep, Vice Chairman of the Vietnam Coffee and Cocoa Association (VCCA), stated that this year’s coffee exports could surpass 8 billion USD, driven by three factors: improved quality, a higher share of processed products, and strategic market expansion. He explained that before 2020, low coffee prices led many farmers to switch to other crops, reducing supply, while businesses focused on building sustainable production chains and improving quality. As supply decreased while demand increased, coffee prices rebounded strongly.
As the world’s leading exporter of Robusta coffee, Vietnam has benefited from strong global consumption demand and a more than 40 percent increase in average export prices. At the same time, the growing share of instant and roasted coffee has helped significantly boost export value.
The EU, the U.S., South Korea, and China continued to increase their imports, while Vietnamese companies took good advantage of tariff preferences and improved logistics. Overall, Vietnam’s coffee export growth in 2025 has not only been driven by prices but also reflects progress in product quality and structure.
In the first 3 quarters of 2025, Germany, Italy, and Spain were Vietnam’s three largest coffee markets, accounting for 13.9%, 7.5%, and 7.5% of total exports, respectively. Compared to the same period last year, the value of coffee exports to Germany in the first eight months of 2025 rose 89.7%, to Italy increased 47.5%, and to Spain grew 59.2%.
In October 2025, Vietnam’s average coffee export price reached 5,774 USD per ton, up 1.3 percent compared to September 2025 and 0.8 percent compared to October 2024. For the first ten months of 2025, the average export price stood at 5,660 USD per ton, an increase of 42.7 percent compared to the same period in 2024.
According to the International Coffee Organization (ICO), during the 2020-2025 period, Vietnam’s instant coffee production capacity increased by about 1.9 million bags, equivalent to 114 thousand tons of processed coffee per year.
Vietnam is one of the few major coffee-exporting countries ready to meet the requirements of the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), helping to expand access to the European market as the world’s largest coffee-consuming region. In addition to maintaining stable production, Vietnam’s coffee sector is strongly shifting toward deep processing to increase added value.
