Following gold, the price of an agricultural product also continuously set records

On March 28, Mr. Nguyen Huu Long, Director of Vietnam Coffee Academy Joint Stock Company VCA (Gia Lai province), confirmed that the price of locally traded bucket coffee has exceeded the mark of 100,000 VND/kg, the highest level since before now.

“This is bucket coffee bought from farmers. Before roasting, it must be colored to remove impurities such as: grit, soil, damaged beans, etc. The loss is about 5-7%, so the price of raw coffee for roasting and grinding.” even higher” – Mr. Long said.

Thus, compared to the same period last year, the price of raw coffee has increased more than 2 times.

However, according to Mr. Long, the price increase in the coming time will not be anything, the upcoming “tsunami” will be the real “tsunami” of the coffee industry.

Thus, Vietnam has a maximum of about 600,000 tons of coffee until the new harvest begins next October. Last year, there was a huge shortage of coffee, this year the shortage is even more serious, so it is likely that prices will increase dramatically.

Faced with the increasing trend of coffee prices, many businesses said they were in a difficult situation.

Because agents do not have goods from farmers, they do not deliver goods to exporters, pushing export business into chaos…
