The Department of Industry and Trade of Tien Giang Province in southern Vietnam, in collaboration with Fado iExport Joint Stock Company, held a launch ceremony on Thursday afternoon for the first shipment of fresh Tien Giang coconuts destined for China.

The ceremony took place at Hung Thinh Phat Cooperative in Cho Gao District.

Pham Van Trong, vice-chairman of the provincial administration, called the event a significant milestone for both the local agricultural sector and the international recognition of Vietnamese agricultural products.

According to Trong, the official export of fresh Tien Giang coconuts to China is the result of long-term negotiations between specialized agencies in Vietnam and China, as well as the persistent efforts of coconut farmers and exporters in the province.

Home to 21,650 hectares of coconut plantations, Tien Giang is one of the largest coconut-growing areas in the Mekong Delta.

Over the past few years, the province has implemented a series of incentive policies and adopted new approaches to promote coconut cultivation and processing.

The province plans to continue offering incentives that promote the local coconut sector and increase farmers' income in the years to come.
