ffeeNetwork, part of INTL FCStone, maintains its 2014/15 Brazil crop forecast of 50 million 60-kg bags. CoffeeNetwork's head of research and analysis, Andrea Thompson, said that a timely start to the wet season, due to begin mid-September, was vital to Brazil's 2015/16 crop. November robusta futures on Liffe ended down $9, or 0.5 percent, at $1,947 a tonne. CoffeeNetwork expects top robusta grower Vietnam will produce 30 million bags in 2014/15, up from 28 million the previous year.
