Coffee prices on March 29 globally

On the morning of March 29, 2025, the global coffee market recorded mixed movements between Robusta and Arabica coffee. Specifically, Robusta coffee prices on the London exchange saw a downward adjustment, while Arabica coffee prices on the New York exchange showed a slight upward trend.

Robusta coffee price fluctuations

• Robusta coffee for May 2025 delivery: $ 5,365/ton, up $ 14/ton.
• Robusta coffee for July 2025 delivery: $ 5,388/ton, up $ 27/ton.

Despite a slight increase in the trading session, Robusta coffee prices remain under downward pressure due to forecasts of rising global supply, particularly from Vietnam and Brazil. According to experts, Vietnam’s Robusta coffee production for the 2025-2026 crop year is projected to reach 28.8 million bags, up 7.9% from the previous season.

Arabica coffee price fluctuations

• Arabica coffee for July 2025 delivery: 378 cents/lb, up 3.05 cents/lb.

Arabica coffee prices saw a slight recovery due to a weaker USD. However, prices remain at their lowest level in a month due to speculative fund sell-offs following a sharp decline in the U.S. consumer confidence index.
