The shipment was also the first exported by the Tra Vinh FARM Company (Sokfarm) to the US through an official channel.

Sokfarm owns a 20,000-hectar coconut growing area that meets standards of the US, Europe, Japan, and Canada, the company said. It plans to ship up to 40,000 bottles of coconut nectar drink to the US every month.

Tra Vinh ranks second in Vietnam in terms of coconut area, after Ben Tre.
