HOANG Thi Thom, a coffee grower in No 2 producer Vietnam, isn't keen to sell this year's harvest.
With prices for the robusta coffee she grows down 18 per cent in 2017, Ms Thom has sold just a tiny fraction of the 6 to 7 tonnes she expects to gather this season. The rest she plans to hold back until after the Tet holidays that celebrate the Lunar New Year in mid-February.
