Hanoi: As of mid-May 2025, Vietnam exported over 736,000 tonnes of coffee, earning 4.2 billion USD, according to the Department of Customs. While export volume declined by 5.5% year-on-year, export value surged by 56% thanks to a sharp rise in average prices. Domestically, coffee prices in the Central Highlands reversed course on May 24, falling by 2,500 VND (0.096 USD)-3,300 VND per kilogram. Prices stood at 122,500 VND per kg in Dak Nong, Dak Lak, and Gia Lai, and 122,000 VND per kg in Lam Dong.

According to Vietnam News Agency, the increase in export value, despite the drop in volume, is attributed to a significant rise in average coffee prices. This trend has positively impacted the country’s earnings from coffee exports. Meanwhile, local coffee prices in key regions such as Dak Nong, Dak Lak, Gia Lai, and Lam Dong have experienced a decline.
