Coffee price today, July 15, 2025: this is how the coffee bean price opened

The reference price for Colombian coffee in international markets was set at US$287.8 million at the close of trading on July 14, 2025.

In recent months, Colombian coffee has recorded historic figures in both production and exports. Between March 2024 and February 2025 , 14.79 million bags were produced, the highest volume since 1996, driven by a 30% increase over the previous period. This recovery has been accompanied by record prices, with a pound of coffee surpassing $4 on the New York Stock Exchange and domestic shipments reaching more than three million pesos.

Exports also grew significantly, rising 20% in the first quarter of 2025, consolidating the United States as the main destination for Colombian grain.

However, weather factors such as heavy rains have affected production in key regions , causing a 22% drop in June compared to the same month in 2024. Although these conditions delayed the harvest, they could also improve grain quality.

Faced with these challenges, the sector has strengthened its crop renewal and market diversification strategy, while brands like Juan Valdez are advancing their international expansion. The Federation of Coffee Growers projects a harvest of 15 million bags for the 2024-2025 coffee year, a level not seen in more than three decades.
