100-Year Waxy Flesh Coconut Tree Fest to be Held in Vietnam’s Tra Vinh

Dua sap, literally translating to waxy flesh coconut in Vietnamese, contains no water and is filled with white, greasy, jelly-like flesh when fully ripened.

The festival anticipates the introduction of dua sap-based products to the global market and aims to showcase tourism products to both local and international travelers, as stated by an official from the provincial People’s Committee on Wednesday.

The provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism will collaborate with the People’s Committee of Cau Ke District, which boasts the largest expanse of waxy flesh coconut cultivation among all the province’s districts, to initiate the festival.

With 27,400 hectares dedicated to coconut trees, Tra Vinh stands as the second largest coconut tree-growing locality in the Mekong Delta region, surpassed only by Ben Tre Province.

Annually, the province produces approximately 444 million coconuts.

Waxy flesh coconut trees are cultivated across 752 hectares, primarily located in Cau Ke District.

The festival’s objective is to recognize the value of Tra Vinh dua sap and encourage farmers and businesses to establish coconut brands, thereby unlocking the province’s potential.

The festival will also include various business networking events, seminars, a trade show, and a culinary competition where participants will create 100 dishes featuring waxy flesh coconut as the primary ingredient.

Festival attendees will enjoy a range of sports, cultural activities, and traditional games throughout the captivating event.

Vietnam defeat Myanmar, set up ASEAN football semifinal against Indonesia

Hình ảnh
Before the game started, both teams spent a moment of silence in memory of Brazilian football legend Pele, who passed away last week. Vietnam looked poised for the last four with an early goal just eight minutes into the game. Nguyen Van Quyet conjured up a brilliant assist for Pham Tuan Hai to tap in, but before Hai could touch the ball, Zin Lwin scored an own goal. Vietnam’s goalkeeper Dang Van Lam and defense line almost brought the match back to the start by making grave mistakes in just a few minutes with wrong positioning and careless passes. However, the Myanmar players failed to convert those chances. The hosts doubled the lead in the 27th minute when Myanmar keeper Tun Nanda Oo could not catch the ball cleanly from Doan Van Hau’s cross, leaving Nguyen Tien Linh with an easy job.
