Global coffee price review
Over the past month, the global price of green coffee beans has experienced significant fluctuations. The price of Arabica coffee, after rising during the early months of the year, entered a corrective phase and followed a sharp downward trend. Its current price has dropped to around $3.0127 per pound, reflecting a notable decrease compared to the previous month. Overall, the price trend over the past month has been downward, with consistent declines clearly observed.
A similar trend can be seen in the Robusta coffee market. Prices have steadily declined in recent weeks and are now fluctuating around $3,700 per ton. Unlike previous intermittent volatility, the market direction over the past month has been predominantly bearish, although short-term fluctuations remain noticeable.
These recent fluctuations and price drops have been driven by factors such as a relative improvement in supply from some producing regions, reduced concerns about severe shortages, milder weather conditions compared to previous months, and changes in global demand.
According to recent data, global coffee inventories remain below the long-term average. However, there are signs of improvement in the supply chain. Under these circumstances, continuous monitoring of production conditions, stock levels, and export policies of major producing countries is increasingly important for market participants.
Comparison of Arabica coffee price to Robusta coffee price globally
Current market data
- The price of Robusta coffee is approximately $3.726 per kilogram (based on an estimated price of $3,726 per metric ton).
- The price of Arabica coffee is also around $3.013 per kilogram (based on a price of $301.27 per 100 pounds, equivalent to about $6.64 per kilogram, and using the latest conversion rate, roughly $3.013 per pound).
Although Arabica coffee has traditionally traded at a higher price than Robusta due to its more complex flavor profile and higher production costs, in recent months we have seen a significant narrowing of the price gap between the two types. This could be due to decreased demand for Arabica or increased supply relative to Robusta.
Factors such as exchange rate fluctuations, weather conditions in producing regions, and shifts in consumer preferences continue to play a key role in determining this price ratio. Given the sensitivity of the market and recent volatility, coffee industry participants are advised to use risk hedging strategies and diversification of supply sources to protect against sharp price fluctuations.
