The Vietnam Coconut Association (VCA) set a target of 1 billion USD in export revenue at its second congress for the 2023-2028 tenure recently held in Ho Chi Minh City. According to VCA, coconut has been planted on a total area of some 200,000 hectares across the nation, generating incomes for nearly 390,000 farmer households. Vietnam is now home to 90 coconut businesses, 42 of which produces coconut-based goods. Besides Ben Tre, which is considered the country’s coconut capital, other localities have zoned off hundreds of hectares of land for coconut farming, including Long An, Tay Ninh, Khanh Hoa, Binh Thuan and Binh Dinh. Last year, Vietnam shipped 940 million USD worth of coconut-based and coconut-related products. VNA Photo
