The price of robusta coffee futures for January 2025 on the London exchange increased by 0.6% to $5,565/ton, reaching a more than two-month high in early trading. The price increase is attributed to geopolitical factors, concerns about Brazil's output in the 2025/26 crop season, and transportation and logistics challenges. The market is in a long-term supply shortage, with high coffee prices compared to previous years. The coffee harvest season in Vietnam is slowing down, resulting in fewer new coffee beans purchased from farmers. Luckin Coffee has agreed to buy up to 240,000 tons of coffee per year from Brazil between 2025 and 2029, marking the largest coffee bean purchase plan in the company's history.
