In the Tan Hoa (Cau Ke) of coconut farmers with price per coconut wax was approximately 20 times higher than normally like coconut. This unique specialty varieties bring a prosperous life for many households is the local Khmer people.
I Thach family, live Christmas village Chong 2 (Tan Hoa, Cau Ke) previously only 5 companies (1 of 1,000 m2) of rice paddy life quite difficult. His family also has a small garden planted coconut type 1 often sell fruit and coconut wax intended for children who do not eat for sale purchase.
Mr. Thach I said: "As the older stuff like coconut neighbors said one monk by studying the Khmer temple in Cambodia to bring about local plant in 1924.
Then strange to see so much good food and local people please seed planted in the garden. But the price of coconut coconuts are usually cheaper because there is no way for oil traders could only see playboy coconut wax is returned to each one leaving only a few kilometers to the children in the school cafeteria. "So, for a long time almost only coconuts around the hamlet of relative ethnic Khmer.
According to Hoa Tan Commune People's Committee, prior to 2006 coconut wax communal area less than 10 hectares. However, from 2006 until now, thanks to support project development coconut from which coconut wax wax widely sold out, become local specialties at every price point coconut wax up to 150 thousand dollars, while the normal price of dried coconut per dozen (1 dozen left -PV 12) only cost 60 thousand dollars. Currently the commune has over 110 hectares with approximately 25,000 coconut wax.
Coconut wax has now become a specialty, sold widely throughout the life of the urban farmers plant more coconut wax better off. Mr Hien Thach, Deputy Chairman of the Cooperative coconut wax Hoa Tan said: "The majority of coconut farmers better off economically wax, soil family less than a dozen trees much food is enough land, enriched by coconut wax for very high income, each tree can give income of 1 million / year, 5 to 6 times higher than usually rice or coconut ".
Currently coconut wax dissolved cooperative has 19 members with an area khoang19 ha, planted 200 trees per hectare coconut wax for a high income. Mr. Thach family I have 5 cents of land planted with lemon coconut wax particles, with a monthly average of about 60 harvest coconuts and 150kg lemon wax particles for stable income nearly 10 million / month, after deducting expenses care and fertilizers. Mr. Thach I said: "Thanks to this special coconut ethnic Khmer several years in the local economy is better off. Price coconut wax always stable and high income from coconut wax so much higher than other crops. "
Currently Tan Hoa Cooperative coconut wax focal coconut wax products consumed by the cooperative members and growing coconut products are present particularly in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and other large cities with very high prices. Mr. Thach Phu My, Chairman of the Cooperative coconut wax Hoa Tan said: "Currently the local coconut wax fruit wax ratio of about 25 to 30%.

Also, many people still buy the same members as the wax palm wax new sweet, aromatic wax ... will be expected in the coconut wax products on the market ".
According to Mr My, coconut wax only grow in areas Hoa Tan will give a high proportion of wax, delicious than the other provinces. Because, in addition to soil issues, climate is only growing coconuts special wax, if planted with other varieties of coconut wax as low rate due to cross-pollination. This coconut becomes so special and is almost exclusively the product of ethnic Khmers here.
