In the last days of the Year of the Cat, the average coffee price in the Central Highlands provinces continued to increase compared to the previous week. Coffee is being purchased at prices ranging from 78,200 - 79,400 VND (3.2 - 3.25 USD) per kg in some localities.

In the last days of the Year of the Cat, the average coffee price in the Central Highlands provinces continue to increase compared to the previous week.

A surge in domestic coffee prices was attributed to the fact that traders actively purchased coffee before the lunar New Year (Tet) holiday while exporters were afraid of supply shortages like last year so they tended to buy more.

The coffee output of the 2023-2034 crop in Dak Lak province is forecast to reach 580,000 tons, thus the coffee export volume is estimated at 330,000 tons. If prices stay as high as they are now and fluctuate slightly in the near future, the province's coffee export turnover could hit 900 million USD.

Lam Dong province has about 175,700 ha of coffee and the output for 2023-2024 crop is expected to hit 535,000 tons.

In 2023, Vietnam exported over 1.6 million tons, down 8.7% in quantity but up 4.6% in value compared to last year, reaching a record turnover of 4.24 billion USD.

According to the Vietnam Coffee-Cocoa Association (Vicofa), Vietnam’s coffee production in the 2023-2024 crop will be 1.6-1.7 million tons, lower than 1.78 million tons in 2022-2023.
