Trade remains quiet in Vietnam, supplies build up in Indonesia

HANOI/BANDAR LAMPUNG, Indonesia, July 18 (Reuters) -Trading activity in Vietnam remained sluggish amid low supplies and high asking prices, while premiums fell in Indonesia as supplies are building up there, traders said on Thursday.
Farmers in the Central Highlands, Vietnam's largest coffee-growing area, were selling beans COFVN-DAK for 127,000-127,700 dong ($5.00-$5.02) per kg, unchanged from last week.
"It is four months away until the next harvest however there is not much coffee left," said a trader based in the coffee belt. "Trade is very tepid as no one is keen to buy at this high price."
Traders offered 5% black and broken-grade 2 robusta COFVN-G25-SAI at a premium of $500 per metric ton to the September contract.
"At the moment, I don't think domestic prices can surpass the 135,000 dong per kg mark. Sluggish coffee trading activities remain an obstacle," said Nguyen Ngoc Quynh, deputy chief of Mercantile Exchange of Vietnam.
Indonesia's Sumatra robusta coffee beans were offered at $600 premium to the September contract this week, lower than the $750 premium to the August contract last week, a trader said.
Another trader quoted a premium of $630 to the September contract, down from $770 a week ago, "as supply has improved".
"There is a lot of coffee in the market thanks to ongoing harvest in the main producing areas in Lampung. The harvest is estimated to peak in July to August," the second trader added.
Asep, a coffee farmer in Indonesia's Lampung province, said his coffee output rose to one ton per hectare this year, far above 200 kilograms last year as the weather was favourable.
