The story

Ben Tre Coconut Festival in Ben Tre

The Ben Tre Coconut Festival celebrates Vietnam's largest coconut-growing region, with five documented editions between 2009 and 2019 that grew from a local provincial event into a national-scale gathering including other coconut-producing provinces and members of the World Coconut Community, the international body representing coconut-growing nations worldwide.

Along the Mekong Delta's Ham Luong and Ba Lai rivers, coconut palms are not scenery, they are the regional economy.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Ben Tre grows more coconuts than anywhere else in Vietnam, with more than 52,000 hectares under cultivation, accounting for roughly a third of national coconut output and generating over a quarter of the province's total industrial output value, with coconut goods exported to more than 50 countries

02

The mystery stays covered

The festival tracks that economic weight: its 2012 edition was explicitly upgraded to national scale under the theme Ben Tre on the Path of Integration and Development, and its 2015 edition brought together ten Vietnamese coconut-producing provinces alongside members of the World Coconut Community, an international body representing coconut-growing nations

03

The city starts moving

Few Vietnamese provincial festivals are this directly tied to a single crop's entire industrial supply chain, from raw coconut to the province's globally known coconut candy
