This is part of the macadamia sustainable development project in the 2021-2030 period with a vision towards 2050 approved recently by the Government.  

The project targets to develop macadamia production in an effective and sustainable manner.

By 2030, total area of macadamia cultivation will reach 130,000 – 150,000 hectares, including 75,000 – 95,000 hectares in the northern provinces of Dien Bien and Lai Chau; about 45,000 hectares in the central highlands provinces of Lam Dong, Dak Nong, and Kon Tum and localities with favorable weather conditions and land. 

The project encourages economic sectors to build 300-400 macadamia processing factories and about eight factories capable of processing macadamia products. 

Viet Nam’s macadamia exports rose by 100 percent last year despite the impacts of COVID-19 on agriculture and logistics.

Overall fruit and nut exports were up 7.9 percent at $2.36 billion, according to the Viet Nam Customs./.
