Empowering Coconut Producers in Ben Tre Province for Sustainable Livelihoods

This project aims to enhance the livelihoods of rural poor populations in Ben Tre Province, Vietnam, by developing a traditional trade village for pro-poor coconut products. With a focus on adding value to coconut, expanding production groups, and accessing diverse markets, it seeks to create jobs, increase incomes, and provide sustainable livelihoods. Stakeholders include governance bodies, enterprises, rural communities, and NGOs, with a SWOT analysis highlighting natural advantages, potential obstacles, and areas for growth. Planned activities encompass rural business development services, market access implementation, and robust project management. The expected outcomes include poverty reduction, private sector investment attraction, and skills development for local producers. The total budget for the project is estimated at $28.6 million USD.
