HCMC – Vietnam exported nearly 22 tons of peeled fresh coconuts from the former Ben Tre Province to China through the Bac Luan II border gate on August 5, according to the Mong Cai International Border Gate Customs Office.
The shipment, exported by Quan Minh Investment JSC, included 2,190 cartons weighing a total of 21,900 kilograms. The coconuts carried the plantation code VN-BTOR-0188 and the packaging code VN-BTPH-064, meeting China’s import standards.
This was the first fresh coconut shipment via Bac Luan II in 2025 and the second since the gate began handling the product in 2024.

Customs authorities said they would continue to support formal exports of agricultural products, particularly fresh coconuts, to improve the value and competitiveness of Vietnamese produce in overseas markets.
