Vietnam coffee monthly round-up JUNE 2021

Vietnam Robusta coffee price is seeing continued support from concern about reduced supplies from Vietnam. With the low rainfall in the first six months of 2021, it is expected that this crop’s production will decrease

Production

The USDA forecast global 21/22 production dropping by 11m bags to 164.8m. This would be the lowest figure since 17/18.

It is also estimated that Vietnam coffee production will decrease from 1.74 mil MT in 20/21 to 1.62 mil MT in 21/22.

Shipment

A shortage of shipping containers in Asia has limited Vietnam’s Robusta exports. Vietnam’s General Statistics Office reported that Vietnam’s June coffee exports fell -13.8% year-over-year to 110,000 MT and cumulative Jan-Jun coffee exports fell -12.3% year-over-year to 825,000 MT

Shipments from Vietnam are reported at just 97,768 MT in June which would be 2,831 MT less than in May and 21,471 MT less than in June 2020.

Vietnam coffee production in crop 20/21 dropped by 17%. One of the reasons was the low rainfall in the first six months of 2020. With the rainfall recorded in the first six months of 2021 which is lower than previous year, the production in crop 21/22 is expected to decrease even more.
