COCONUT – THE ESSENCE OF THE TROPICAL REGION, TIMELESS VALUE
_______________________________________
ORIGIN & GLOBAL PROGRESS
The coconut tree originates from the tropical regions of Southeast Asia and South Asia, with the first traces recorded more than 3,000 years ago. Coconut is one of the rare tropical plants that can grow naturally along the coast, thanks to its ability to withstand salinity and disperse seeds along the sea currents.
In Vietnam, coconut has been associated with people’s lives for a long time, especially in the coastal areas of the Central, Southern and Southwestern regions. The coconut tree is not only a symbol of the tropics but also a “multi-purpose tree”, present in cuisine, handicrafts, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
