At the groundbreaking ceremony, Nguyen Truc Son, member of Vinh Long Party Standing Committee and Vice Chairman of Vinh Long People’s Committee, praised the efforts of Asia Ingredients Group (AIG).

“The continuing investment expansion from AIG sends a strong message to the investor community about Vinh Long’s transparent, open, and highly promising business environment. I expect the plant to be completed soon, helping coconut products from Vinh Long reach further into international markets,” he said.

Over the past decade, AIG has continuously invested in developing Processing Plant I, supplying a wide range of products to global markets, including UHT coconut water, desiccated coconut, coconut milk powder, frozen coconut milk, UHT coconut milk, and coconut oil.

To meet rising global demand for coconut-based products, the new plant is being equipped with state-of-the-art production lines and machinery sourced from leading EU manufacturers, ensuring compliance with the stringent quality standards of international markets.

The plant is being developed with three key components, including a UHT sterilisation production line transferred from Tetra Pak — the world’s leading provider of food processing and packaging solutions — with a designed capacity of 48,000 tonnes per year; a frozen coconut cream production line with a capacity of 16,000 tonnes annually; and two desiccated coconut production lines with a combined capacity of 2,400 tonnes per year.
