Visit to a Coconut Candy Cottage Factory in Ben Tre, Mekong Delta, Vietnam


Our ferry boat took us through the Mekong River to Ben Tre to visit a Coconut Candy Cottage Factory.


Welcome to Ben Tre. The Mekong Delta area is so beautiful.

The Village where you can learn about the daily life of its inhabitants.


The coconut is grated and then cooked in a wok using charcoal oven on a slow fire.
It is stirred until it turns brown.

The final product is rolled into tubes ready for cutting into shape.


The candy roll is then manually cut into small cubes.

They are manually wrapped individually and then the final product is packed into packets ready for sale.

It is an educational visit for many visitors. The scenery of the river and village makes one feel so relaxed in such surroundings.
