Coffee Harvest Delays Lengthen in Vietnam as More Rain Forecast

Harvesting of coffee in Vietnam, the world’s second-biggest producer, will be delayed for a further week because of rains, according to local weather officials.

“We expect more rains to come in the next two to three days,” said, director of the Dak Lak Hydrology and Meteorology Office. “The rains will last for a few days and the dry season will start after that,” Nguong said from the biggest growing province of Dak Lak in the Central Highlands. The rainy season, which normally finishes at the end of October, was prolonged this year and has delayed harvesting by about two weeks “already”, Nguong said today.
