Vinh Long unlocks billion dollar potential for coconut exports

As plant-based products surge worldwide, a coconut powerhouse is taking shape in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta. Anchored by Vinh Long’s vast groves and deep-processing drive, the country’s coconut industry is eyeing a new billion-dollar frontier. In 2025, the province’s coconut export value is expected to exceed 500 million USD, underscoring its status as the nation’s leading “Coconut Capital”. With nearly 120,000 hectares of coconut – equivalent to about 65% of national coconut cultivation – the enlarged province of Vinh Long (which now also includes the former provinces of Tra Vinh and Ben Tre) commands a raw-material base unmatched by most global coconut producing regions.
