This is your Daily Coffee Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.
Hello and welcome to the Daily Coffee Price Tracker. I am Vanessa Clark, and as always, I am here to keep you up to speed on the latest moves in the coffee market, industry headlines, and practical tips to help you navigate life as a coffee lover or coffee business owner.
Let us jump right into today’s most important news: the current trading price for coffee. Coffee futures are on a strong upward run this week. According to Coffee Bi, the benchmark price for coffee on October 13 hit 385 point 2 cents per pound, a gain of over three percent from just the day before. On London’s robusta exchange, the November contract closed near four thousand five hundred forty-two dollars per ton, up a healthy fifty-five dollars in just one session, and New York arabica futures for December settled around 394 point 9 cents per pound. Across Vietnam, a major player in robusta production, domestic prices are climbing too, with averages in provinces like Dak Lak and Lam Dong reaching about 114,400 to 115,000 Vietnamese dong per kilogram in today’s trade. The driver behind all this? On one hand, renewed rainfall is expected to improve conditions in Brazil’s coffee regions, but ongoing worries about heat and drought have added volatility to global supply forecasts. Meanwhile, Colombian production hit a thirty-year high, and Vietnamese exports are surging as global demand ramps up for the end-of-year festive season.
Now, how does all of this affect your cup at home or your coffee business? First, if you are buying green coffee in bulk, be prepared for continuing price swings—producers and roasters, this is a time to revisit your contracts and consider hedging strategies. For consumers, this means the price of your regular coffee or espresso drink could tick upward, as shops and chains pass some costs down. In fact, US coffee shop operators have already raised menu prices by three to five percent this year to account for higher input and transportation costs.
Looking further down the supply chain, there are some big corporate moves shaping the coffee market. FreshBrew, a leading US supplier, just expanded in a big way, acquiring White Coffee Corp’s licensing division. This will help them boost production to around one hundred fifty thousand pounds of coffee a day and put more bagged and single-serve coffees on shelves at discount and big-box retailers.
On the sustainability front, Blue Bottle Coffee, a major specialty brand, is stepping up. They became carbon neutral for 2024 and are working with growers on climate-adaptive varietals and regenerative agriculture. For those interested in the planet’s future and the long-term viability of specialty coffee, this is an encouraging sign. Also, expect to see more chains removing dairy surcharges and supporting plant-based options to line up with consumer demands for sustainable choices.
A quick note on what is happening globally: Vietnam is on track for record exports, nearly seven billion dollars by the end of this quarter, blowing past last year’s totals. The country’s new harvest is now underway and projected to be seven percent higher than last season. In Lam Dong province, which accounts for about half of Vietnam’s total coffee output, both arabica and robusta are getting special geographical indication status—so keep an eye out for single-origin beans from that region.
As fall settles in across the northern hemisphere, be on the lookout for continued volatility in coffee prices. Watch for news on weather in Brazil and Vietnam—just a few weeks of drought or a big storm can move the market sharply. If you’re a small business, now’s a good time to explain to your customers why prices might rise: sharing the story behind coffee’s cost can help build trust and loyalty. And for everyone brewing at home, experimenting with blends or origins can be a fun way to discover new flavors while comparing value.
