HANOI -- Vietnam's first tropical storm of the year has developed off the coast earlier than in prev

ious years, but it was not on a course likely to affect rice and coffee growing areas, officials said on Wednesday. The Agriculture Ministry said in a report that the storm would move northeast in the next 48 hours and was forecast to stay out at sea about 210 km (130 miles) from the coast of the central provinces of Quang Ngai and Khanh Hoa.

A provincial official in the main coffee-growing region of Daklak in central Vietnam said the storm, named Neoguri, was unlikely to affect Daklak at all.
