In Short: Vietnam revises down coffee exports

Vietnam shipped 53,100 tonnes (884,000 bags) of coffee in July, a drop of 21 percent on the year, the customs department said, revising down slightly a government estimate from last month. The revised volume brought Vietnam's coffee exports between January and July to 918,000 tonnes, or 15.3 million 60-kg bags, up 17.8 percent from a year ago, the Finance Ministry-run Vietnam Customs said in a report released on Tuesday.
The revised figure for July remains in line with traders' estimates of between 45,000 and 70,000 tonnes. Last month the government's General Statistics Office estimated July coffee export at 55,000 tonnes, or 917,000 bags.
