On October 4, 2021, Vietnam saw a slight increase in coffee prices, ranging from 39,800 VND/kg to 40,900 VND/kg across different provinces, due to a global uptick in coffee prices. The USDA forecasts a decrease in world coffee production due to unfavorable weather in Brazil, while the Covid-19 pandemic continues to impact coffee transportation and trading. Despite these challenges, the resumption of traffic activities, government vaccination efforts, and stable freight rates offer hope for market stability. In addition, Vietnam's pepper prices increased by 500 VND/kg, with prices ranging from 78,500 VND/kg to 82,000 VND/kg, driven by increasing global demand and decreasing supply. The positive outlook for pepper exports is further boosted by demand during the holiday season and the resumption of purchasing by export businesses.
