Vietnam: Many agricultural products have increased in price to record levels

Published 2024년 4월 22일

Tridge summary

In 2023, Vietnam has witnessed a significant surge in agricultural product prices, with coffee, durian, and cocoa reaching record highs due to a combination of factors including soaring exports, low inventory levels, the impact of the El Nino phenomenon causing droughts, geopolitical tensions, and a reduction in cultivation area. Coffee prices have increased by 63%, while durian and cocoa prices have also doubled in the first quarter. The global market trends mirror these increases with Robusta and Arabica coffee prices hitting unprecedented levels. The price hike is expected to persist due to high global demand, reduced output from drought-induced crop failures, and external factors like the Red Sea crisis and rising oil prices. Despite a potential temporary drop in durian prices with the start of the harvest in May, prices are anticipated to rise sharply towards the year's end, especially with the commencement of official exports of frozen durian. Local authorities are closely monitoring weather developments and planning water regulation for crops in anticipation of continued drought and water shortages, suggesting that the upward price trend for these agricultural products is likely to continue.
