  • Robusta Coffee Prices Surge on Dry Weather Concerns in Vietnam
    May 24, 2026, 5:50 PM EDT. Robusta coffee prices rose sharply by 1.68% on Friday due to dry conditions in Vietnam's Central Highlands, the key growing region. Spotty showers have raised fears for the robusta crop's development. Simultaneously, worries over a potential El Niño delaying rains in Brazil threaten next year's coffee flowering period, supporting prices. Meanwhile, arabica coffee slipped 0.38%, pressured by forecasts of a record Brazilian 2026/27 harvest, signaling an improved global supply outlook. Vietnam's coffee exports surged over 15% year-on-year, increasing bearish pressure on robusta. However, declines in ICE coffee inventories and smaller Brazilian exports provide some bullish support. The prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz continues to disrupt global coffee supplies, adding to price volatility.
