Pu’er Coffee

 As global demand for coffee continues to surge, Vietnam — the world’s largest Robusta producer — is experiencing a historic boom. The country’s coffee export revenue has reached new heights, fueled by strong international prices and robust yields across its fertile Central Highlands. Farmers are optimistic, traders are holding back stocks for better deals, and experts predict that Vietnam’s coffee prices will stay high well into the new season. Here’s a closer look at what’s driving this record-breaking growth and what it means for the global coffee market. According to data from the Vietnam Coffee and Cocoa Association (VICOFA) , Vietnam exported over 1.5 million tons of coffee during the 2024/25 season — a 6% increase compared to the previous year. Export revenue surged to an unprecedented $8.4 billion , up 60% year over year , driven by both higher coffee prices and increased production. Starting in October, Vietnam entered the 2025/26 crop year , with domestic coffee price...

 Brazil’s spot coffee market showed strong momentum this week, supported by rising international futures prices and a stronger U.S. dollar. The growing number of sellers helped create a more active trading environment, as higher prices encouraged sales. Many producers took advantage of this favorable moment to boost cash flow and manage trade flows across the harvest season. However, sharp volatility in the futures market continues to challenge both traders and growers. Exporters are leveraging the high coffee futures prices to offer better payments to producers while reducing premiums—expanding their purchasing margins and attracting more foreign demand.

  Coffee News Global Coffee Supply Expected to Slightly Exceed Demand; Watch U.S. Tariffs and EU EUDR Policy Developments Although coffee harvesting has been completed or is nearing completion in Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Indonesia, Uganda, and parts of East and Central Africa, major harvests in Central America, China, Colombia, Ethiopia, India, Mexico, Uganda, and Vietnam are expected to accelerate seasonally toward the end of the year. The market generally expects global coffee production in the 2025/26 season to reach 174 million bags , while global consumption is also expected to rise to approximately 171 million bags . Therefore, following a 2 million bag supply deficit in 2024/25, the market anticipates a 3 million bag surplus this year. Despite the potential slight oversupply, market participants remain focused on U.S. tariffs and EU EUDR policies , which could impact coffee trade and consumer markets.

  Coffee prices experienced a rollercoaster session on Thursday evening (Beijing time), rising sharply before pulling back. Arabica coffee futures fell after hitting a new record high, while Robusta futures dropped from a five-week peak. Analysts attribute the decline mainly to easing weather risks in major coffee-producing countries. The recent rally in coffee prices had been fueled by fears that overly dry conditions in Brazil during the critical flowering stage of coffee trees could threaten the 2026/27 crop. According to Bloomberg’s weather analysis, Brazil’s key coffee-growing regions have faced severe drought, with rainfall in Minas Gerais reaching only about 70% of the historical average over the past month. However, Brazil’s meteorological agency forecast on Thursday that rain is expected in major coffee regions this weekend. Meanwhile, Vietnam’s weather bureau lowered the likelihood of heavy rainfall in the country’s central coffee belt. It’s worth noting that low inven...
