In the week ending November 15, coffee purchase prices in Vietnam’s Central Highlands ranged from 82,300 to 83,000 dong per kilogram, down 1,500 to 1,700 dong from the previous week. Prices have fallen for six consecutive weeks to their lowest level since late February 2024.

Farmers in the Central Highlands have begun harvesting the new coffee crop, but progress remains slow. A trader in the growing region interviewed by Reuters said supply was currently limited and substantial volumes of new-crop coffee might not reach the market until next month. Traders also said recent rainfall in coffee-growing areas had been light and had not significantly affected harvesting.
