According to the Customs Department, Vietnam’s coffee exports in September 2025 were 81,000 tons, worth 462 million USD. Compared to September 2024, this figure represents an increase of 58% in volume and 61% in value.
Overall for the first 9 months of 2025, Vietnam’s coffee exports reached nearly 1.24 million tons, valued at 7 billion USD. This is an increase of 11.7% in volume and 62.2% in value compared to the same period in 2024, higher than the 5.62 billion USD for the entire year of 2024. The average export price was 5,655 USD/ton, a strong increase of 45.2% compared to the same period in 2024.
Coffee exports to key markets such as the EU and the United States remain the key growth driver over the past 9 months. In addition, exports to some markets, such as Algeria and Mexico, have seen a sudden increase, opening up further development potential for Vietnamese coffee.
Notably, Cambodia has been an active buyer of Vietnam’s coffee in recent months. Specifically, in September, the country increased its purchases by up to 264% in volume and 327% in value. In over 9 months, Cambodia’s imports increased by 144% in volume and 183% in value. The average export price reached 4,081 USD/ton, a significant increase of over 16% compared to the same period last year.
Vietnam’s coffee exports reached a record high, far exceeding the total value for the entire year of 2024.
Vietnam’s coffee exports in the first 9 months of 2025 showed positive growth thanks to high global coffee prices amid fluctuations in global coffee supply caused by weather impacts in Brazil and Indonesia. The Vietnamese coffee industry benefited from stable production and shifting demand from major markets.
Experts and businesses agree that the 50% tax on Brazilian coffee is a “golden” opportunity for Vietnam and countries not subject to similar taxes, such as Colombia, Honduras, and Ethiopia. Rising costs will force US importers to seek alternative sources of supply.
Many businesses believe that barriers related to shipping costs and consumer habits once led the US to primarily import Arabica coffee from Brazil. However, high tax rates are “forcing” them to seek Robusta supplies from Vietnam and Indonesia.
In Europe, the anti-deforestation regulation (EUDR) has been postponed until the end of 2026. Currently, Vietnam is one of the few coffee-exporting countries that is prepared to meet the new standards. This will further strengthen its position in the market.
Vietnam is the world’s leading producer and exporter of Robusta coffee. So, when Vietnam’s harvest season begins in October, international organizations release numerous related studies. The situation in the Central Highlands coffee gardens remains stable, with almost no serious damage after storms.
In addition, the increasing proportion of processed coffee products also contributes to raising the export value of the industry. In the final months of 2025, global coffee consumption will continue to rise sharply during the holiday season. It is the peak period of the year, supporting the Vietnamese coffee industry to continue boosting exports. It is predicted that world coffee prices will remain high, and Vietnam’s coffee exports in 2025 will reach over 1.6 million tons, valued at about 9 billion USD.
