Hanoi, Sept 9 - Vietnam will start harvesting its next coffee crop from the middle of next month, about two weeks earlier than usual, as good rainy weather has caused cherries to ripen early, traders said on Tuesday.
"Farmers in some areas started picking now and the harvest will start next month, two to three weeks earlier than usual, so new beans will be available for sale from late October," a dealer at a foreign trading house said after a crop survey.
