Coffee Payment Terms Explained: L/C, T/T and CAD for Importers

Coffee payment terms decide who carries the cash, and the risk, between the day a contract is signed and the day a container is released at your port. Three instruments cover almost every green and instant coffee deal out of Vietnam: the letter of credit (L/C), the telegraphic transfer (T/T) and cash against documents (CAD or D/P). Most first orders ship on a T/T deposit with the balance paid against the bill of lading, or on an irrevocable L/C at sight.

Robusta vs Arabica: A Sourcing and Cost Comparison for Roasters

Robusta vs arabica is the first sourcing decision behind every blend, and in mid-October 2026 it was a financial one too: London robusta futures traded near USD 3,470 per tonne, about 157 ¢/lb, while New York arabica traded near 287 ¢/lb. Robusta costs roughly 55% of arabica on the futures screen, carries about twice the caffeine and brings more body and crema, but less acidity, sweetness and aroma.

Vietnam Robusta Coffee Price Trends: What Drives Vietnamese Robusta Prices

The Vietnam robusta coffee price has two layers: the ICE London robusta futures price, which moved around USD 3,470 per tonne for the November 2026 contract in mid-October 2026, and a differential for grade, screen, processing and shipment that is added to or subtracted from it. Farmers see the same market in dong: Central Highlands green robusta sold at about VND 92,200–93,000 per kilogram on 12 October 2026.
