The Plant Protection Department (Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development) informed that the General Administration of Customs of China has announced that in mid-August, it will conduct on-site inspections of growing areas and fresh coconut packaging facilities that need to be exported to the Chinese market.

The Plant Protection Department requested the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of provinces and cities to complete records and documents, and send technical staff to guide and support fresh coconut growing areas and packaging facilities to participate in online inspections as required by the General Administration of Customs of China.

China currently has a large demand for fresh coconuts, but the growing area in Hainan Island can only meet about 10%. Vietnam has more than 180,000 hectares of coconut growing land, concentrated in the Central Coast and the Mekong Delta such as Tra Vinh and Ben Tre. Vietnam is ranked 7th in the world in coconut production.
