- Year-round tropical sunlight
In the equatorial Mekong Delta, the sun is active almost year-round. Sunlight provides the right amount of heat and energy to coconut trees, which in turn produce the best coconuts in Vietnam.
- Abundant water from Cuu Long River
Mekong River, split into multiple branches in Southern Vietnam and referred as Cuu Long – meaning “Nine Dragons”, brings the vital source of water to the Mekong Delta and creates a healthy environment for the ecosystem in the region, including the nurturing of plants.
- Fertile soil
The soil of Mekong Delta, deposited over thousands of years as Mekong River changes its courses over the time, consists of fertile sediment from the River and its tributaries. The tropical wetlands are ideal for cultivating coconut trees, whose roots are deeply plugged into the soil for nutrition and at the same time help retain the moisture and protect the soil from erosion.
