The coconut has long been known as the “Tree of Life,” but for Vietnam, it is also a symbol of resilience and vigorous growth. Beyond its cultural value, the Vietnamese coconut is firmly asserting its position on the global agricultural map.

The year 2024 marked a brilliant milestone as fresh coconut export turnover reached 390 million USD, accounting for 31% of the coconut industry’s total value and rising to the 3rd position in the list of key export fruits (following only durian and dragon fruit). With over 180,000 hectares in “coconut capitals” like Ben Tre, Tra Vinh, and Tien Giang, the coconut tree has been officially recognized as a national key industrial crop.

Diverse Economic Value & International Market Potential
The appeal of Vietnamese coconuts stems from their incredible versatility. Every part of the tree delivers high economic value: coconut water for refreshment; coconut meat for oil and milk production; and the husk and shell for handicrafts.
This versatility has helped Vietnamese coconuts reach over 40 countries. Each market has its own strict standards, and Vietnamese coconuts have successfully conquered them all: from the fastidious requirements for natural sweetness in Japan and Korea to the rigorous Organic and Global G.A.P. standards of the EU and US markets.

Superior Quality from Standardized Processes
Compared to regional competitors, Vietnamese coconuts possess a distinct competitive advantage thanks to their natural sweetness and stable year-round supply. To preserve this authentic flavor, the industry has applied a strict 5-step process:
Standardized Raw Material Areas: Cultivated on mineral-rich alluvial soil along riverbanks.
International Farming Standards: Application of GlobalG.A.P., minimizing chemical use.
“Golden” Harvest: Harvested at the precise age of 6–7 months when the water is sweetest.
Preservation Technology: Cleaned and cold-stored at 5–8°C.
Modern Logistics: Transported via Cold Chain containers, maintaining freshness for up to 45 days.
