Soggy Asia coffee crop means world’s caffeine fix to stay pricey

Vietnam’s coffee belt was already experiencing wet weather in August, but the downpours that happened in the aftermath of Typhoon Yagi, which made landfall in the north of the country on Sept 7, drenched coffee plantations even further.
