Published Updated

"The (domestic) supply is drying up so buyers could switch to taking beans right from stocks in Europe," a trader at a foreign company based in Ho Chi Minh City said.

Vietnam, the world's second-largest coffee producer after Brazil, shipped 89,000 tonnes of the commodity in July 2010, also down from 94,900 tonnes in the previous month, government statistics show.
