Doan Van Danh, General Director of Ben Tre Province's Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, recently announced that Ben Tre has established 133 coconut-growing regions covering an area of 8,373.61 hectares for official export to China.

According to the General Director Danh, a delegation from China visited the province in September to conduct an evaluation. Preliminary assessments indicate that 13 of the inspected coconut-growing regions are qualified. Several businesses have also contacted the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development to seek feedback from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and the provincial People’s Committee regarding the first official export shipment of fresh coconuts to China.

"Ben Tre plans to invite several businesses, ministries, embassies, and media agencies to participate in the export ceremony for this first export shipment of fresh coconuts in October," General Director Doan Van Danh commented.
