March arabica coffee (KCH25) today is up +14.10 (+4.50%), and January ICE robusta coffee (RMF25) is up +243 (+4.96%).
Coffee prices today are sharply higher for a second day. Concerns that future coffee supplies will remain tight are underpinning prices. The Vietnam General Statistics Office reported that Vietnam Nov coffee exports plunged -49.1 % y/y to 60,000 MT, and Jan-Nov coffee exports are down -14.3% y/y at 1.2 MMT. Recent rains in Vietnam flooded coffee fields and delayed the robust coffee harvest. Vietnam, the world’s biggest robusta producer, is at the start of its coffee harvest.
