Daily coffee price updates in Vietnam, Brazil, Colombia and Indonesia

The global coffee market today recorded varying price fluctuations, influenced by several factors such as weather conditions, exchange rates, and export demand. Below is the latest coffee price information from four major coffee-producing regions—Vietnam, Brazil, Colombia, and Indonesia—provided by the International Coffee News, serving as a reference for traders, roasters, and coffee growers.

Vietnam’s coffee prices primarily reflect Robusta prices, as the country is the world’s largest Robusta exporter. In the domestic market, prices for unscreened green beans are updated daily and fluctuate based on global market trends and local harvest seasons.

Brazil is the world’s largest coffee producer and exporter, accounting for about one-third of global coffee output, with Arabica being the main variety. The country leads not only in volume but also in quality improvement, increasingly affirming its position in the specialty coffee sector.

FR 94 refers to the yield rate after hulling (removal of husks). For example, if you have 125 kg of dried coffee, and after hulling you get 94 kg of usable green beans, the yield rate is 94, known as FR 94.

In Colombia, coffee purchase prices are often based on a standard yield rate (e.g., FR 94). The higher the yield, the better the quality (less husk and impurities), resulting in a higher price.

Colombia is world-renowned for its high-quality Arabica, ranking third in global coffee exports, after Brazil and Vietnam. Colombian coffee is often hailed as “one of the best Arabicas in the world,” with the national brand Juan Valdez widely recognized. The Colombian government also provides robust quality control and export support systems.

Indonesia is one of the world’s leading coffee producers, known for beans with unique flavors, especially prominent in the specialty coffee market. Robusta is the main variety, and Indonesia is also famous for its traditional wet-hulling method (Giling Basah), which imparts a distinctive flavor and rich aftertaste, making it stand out on the international market.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: Why is there such a big price difference between Arabica and Robusta coffee?

A1. Flavor and quality

Arabica: More complex flavor, higher aroma, fruity acidity, floral notes, natural sweetness. Preferred for premium coffee.
Robusta: More bitter and harsh, lacks acidity, often has earthy or woody notes.

2. Caffeine content

Robusta contains 1.5–2 times more caffeine than Arabica.
Caffeine naturally repels insects → Robusta is more pest-resistant and cheaper to grow.
However, higher caffeine = stronger bitterness → less suitable for specialty markets.

3. Farming difficulty and cost

Arabica: Requires high altitudes and mild climate; prone to pests and diseases; lower and unstable yields; higher cultivation cost.
Robusta: Grows in lower tropical regions; pest-resistant and heat-tolerant; high yield → cheaper to grow.
Lower cost ≠ higher price → Robusta is priced significantly lower than Arabica.

4. Market positioning

Arabica: Used in high-end cafes and specialty coffee markets (e.g., Starbucks, artisanal roasters). Stable demand and smaller price swings.
Robusta: Mainly used for instant coffee, 3-in-1 mixes, and low-cost blends. Considered “functional coffee,” with prices more affected by commodity markets.

5. Influence of futures markets

Arabica is traded on the ICE New York exchange – high liquidity, heavily watched by investors.
Robusta is traded on ICE London – less attention, more affected by actual supply and demand.
