Vietnam’s coconut export is expected to reach US$1 billion in 2025 after the U.S. and China agree to allow Vietnamese coconuts to enter the two markets, according to the Vietnam Coconut Association.

As the U.S. is about to open the market for Vietnamese coconuts and China allows official coconut import, local businesses are trying to develop raw material areas, apply for growing areas codes, and register to build organic material zones to meet the needs of the world market.

At the end of 2022, coconut export turnover was over $700 million. But based on the momentum of the U.S. and China agreeing to import Vietnamese coconuts, around the end of 2024 and early 2025, coconut export turnover will be up to $1 billion.

In 2021, the fruit was listed as one of Vietnam’s key industrial crops.

About 20 large enterprises in the country have exported coconuts to the world. Up to 35 countries and territories are Vietnam’s importers.
