A first shipment of wax coconuts from the province of Tra Vinh, worth 70,000 AUD (52,620 USD), that was exported to Australia, has sold out within a very short time. This is the first time fresh wax coconuts have been exported by air to Australia. The shipment is the result of the work of Hoa Uu Dam Trading and Service Co., Ltd, and the trade office in a program to develop trademarks and improve the value of Vietnamese agricultural products in Australia.
Previously, only a small amount of Tra Vinh waxy coconuts, mainly frozen ones, were exported to Australia. Tra Vinh fresh waxed coconut is sold at a price of 30 to 35 AUD (about 22-26 USD) apiece.
The trade office has conducted advertising campaigns on social networks, and also published publications to introduce this product and other Vietnamese fruits, with the aim of further promote the export of Tra Vinh waxed coconut in Australia.
