Production Process

From a Tien Giang orchard to more than 10 countries

Five steps, one promise. Every FACOCO coconut is grown under an organic model, hand-picked at 11–12 months of age, processed inside the sourcing region and kept in cold chain all the way to your port — so what lands in your market tastes exactly the way it did in the orchard.

The orchard & the organic model

We choose Tien Giang — known as the coconut capital of Vietnam — where coconuts have been cultivated for generations by farmers who understand the land, respect the water and honour nature.

Under the technical guidance of FADOAGRI experts, coconut farmers adopt an organic cultivation model, free from harmful chemicals, allowing the orchards to grow sustainably and thrive from the roots.

Hand picked at raw material

Harvested at the sourcing region

Only coconuts aged 11 to 12 months, at peak biological ripeness, are selected for production. Based on our 10+ years of research, this is when coconuts reach their optimal nutrient content and flavour — delivering the “delicious – wholesome – authentic” standard that FADOAgri promises in every product.

Harvesting is done by hand, and a first round of sorting takes place right in the orchard so that only fruit meeting our size and quality profile leaves for the plant.

Preliminary processing

Quality starts here

After harvesting, the coconuts are transported to our processing facility located within the sourcing region — a short journey that keeps the fruit fresh. Here they undergo another round of careful sorting to ensure that only the highest quality coconuts are selected for production.
