Currently, grade 1 green Siamese coconuts are being purchased at 130,000 - 140,000 VND per dozen (12 coconuts), while hybrid coconuts and red Siamese coconuts range from 110,000 - 120,000 VND per dozen. Previously, the price was only around 35,000 - 40,000 VND per dozen.
Coconut farmers say that rising prices have improved their income, enabling them to reinvest in orchard care and enhance their resilience to heatwaves and saline intrusion. Some households have converted less productive rice fields to coconut plantations, hoping for more stable profits. However, output still heavily depends on traders, so the need for production linkages and participation in cooperatives is increasingly important.
According to the local agricultural sector, the increase in coconut prices is mainly due to increased domestic demand during the hot season. At the same time, some businesses have opened export markets, contributing to the rise in coconut prices.
Vinh Long currently has over 122,000 hectares of coconut plantations, accounting for over 61% of the country's total area, with approximately 30% being coconuts for drinking water. The province has promoted the development of raw material areas, granted planting area codes, and established packaging facilities to serve exports, especially to the Chinese market.
In addition, cooperative economics in the coconut industry continues to develop with many cooperatives participating in the value chain, contributing to increasing product value and moving towards sustainable development.
