In recent months, the global coconut industry – especially in major producing countries such as Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka – has faced unprecedented fluctuations in raw material prices. In Vietnam, farm-gate prices have surged to 140,000 – 200,000 VND per dozen coconuts, doubling or even tripling compared to the same period in 2024, when prices ranged between 60,000 – 80,000 VND. This situation not only impacts the domestic market but also places significant pressure on international supply chains.
