Coffee prices in Vietnam have reached as high as US$1729 per tonne over the past week, according to figures from the nation’s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD).

The rising prices have come as the result of concerns about the impact of prolonged droughts in both Vietnam and India, both key producers of the global Robusta crop.
