Frozen Coconut is one of the most iconic tropical products, treasured for its creamy flavor, refreshing water, and wide culinary applications. In Vietnam, coconut is cultivated abundantly in provinces such as Ben Tre, Tra Vinh, and Tien Giang, regions renowned as the “coconut capital” thanks to their fertile alluvial soil and favorable climate. GMG sources premium coconuts, especially aromatic coconuts (dừa xiêm) and hybrid coconuts (dừa lai), and applies advanced IQF technology to deliver frozen coconut products that preserve natural taste, nutrition, and freshness for international markets.
Key Characteristics
- Appearance: white, firm coconut meat with a natural glossy sheen.

Harvest and Processing
Coconuts in Vietnam are harvested year-round, with peak season from December to May. Immediately after harvest, coconuts are de-husked, peeled, and processed into convenient formats. GMG applies Individual Quick Freezing (IQF) to lock in flavor, prevent browning, and maintain long-term freshness.
