Coffee ain't for Christmas - Sluggish trading in Vietnam and Indonesia ahead of holidays


HANOI/BANDAR LAMPUNG, Dec 22 (Reuters): Coffee trade was sluggish in Vietnam on thin demand, while Indonesia remained quiet due to low stockpiles, traders said on Thursday.

Farmers in the Central Highlands, Vietnam's largest coffee-growing area, sold beans at 39,900 dong to 40,600 dong ($1.69-$1.72) per kg, down from last week's range of 40,000 dong to 41,700 dong.
