Vietnam 2010/2011 coffee output up, Indonesia down

HANOI: Vietnam's 2010/2011 coffee output has risen 5.5 percent from the previous crop to 18.5 million bags, while production in Indonesia would fall 25.3 percent due to rainy weather, the International Coffee Organization said.

The London-based organisation revised Vietnam's output from 18.43 million bags in its earlier estimate, while it cut output of rival robusta producer Indonesia to 8.5 million bags from a previous projection of 9.5 percent.
