Vietnam’s Nut Exports to Reach USD1.15 Billion this Year

Vietnam’s coconut sector is growing significantly, with export turnover forecast to reach up to US$1.15 billion by the end of 2025, keeping the country among the world’s top five coconut exporters, according to a Vietnam News report on September 15. 

Cao Bá ??ng Khoa, general secretary of the Vi?t Nam Coconut Association, said that exports of the sector’s four main product groups hit $520 million in the first half of 2025 and up 20 per cent year-on-year.  The four main export product groups include fresh coconuts, frozen coconut milk, crude coconut oil, and coconut-based food and cosmetic products.

He predicted that the total export turnover for coconut products in 2025 would be $1.1-1.15 billion and up approximately 20-25 per cent compared to 2024. Fresh coconut exports alone could exceed last year’s $390 million.  He stressed that to tap market potential, the coconut sector should prioritize sustainable development by banning harmful pesticides and promoting good production practices to farmers and workers. Moreover, Vi?t Nam’s coconut sector needs product traceability.
