Exports of coconut products were worth 900 million USD last year and are expected to top 1 billion USD this year, according to the Vietnam Coconut Association. The country has risen to fourth place in Asia in terms of coconut exports. Every part of the coconut tree - fruits, wood, leaves - has a use. The processing industry has developed some 200 products like candy, fibre, shell charcoal, oil, coconut milk, and carpet, besides fresh coconut. It has invested in production technologies to make products of international quality and export to many markets including demanding ones. VNA Photo: Công Trí
