HANOI, Nov 2 (Reuters) - Typhoon Mirinae is expected to dump heavy rain on Vietnam's coffee region when it makes landfall on Monday after killing at least two people in the Philippines at the weekend. The typhoon, now 200 km (124 miles) off the central coast, is forecast to weaken when it hits land but would cut across the southern part of the Central Highlands, including Lam Dong, the second-largest coffee-growing province, the national weather bureau said in a report. Rain could disrupt coffee drying and thus delay the arrival of fresh beans to Saigon Port for several days before the harvest peaks in the second half of November. Vietnam is the world's second-largest coffee producer after Brazil. Typhoon Mirinae hit the Philippines on Saturday, killing at least two people and disrupting traffic, but there were no reports of widespread damage.
