Vietnam strives to reach US$400 million worth of macadamia export in 2030 and $2.5 billion in 2050, with the proportion of macadamia in shell not exceeding 40%.This is the goal of a project to sustainably develop macadamia cultivation and processing in the 2021-2030 period, with a vision to 2050, approved by Deputy Prime Minister Le Van Thanh on March 15. Under the project, the output of processed macadamia nuts is expected to reach about 130,000 tons in 2030 and roughly 500,000 tons in 2050. The size of the growing area is about 130,000-150,000 ha by 2030, mostly in the northwestern region of Vietnam including Dien Bien and Lai Chau provinces and the Central Highlands provinces of Lam Dong, Dak Nong, and Kon Tum. Based on the evaluation of macadamia farming efficiency in the 2021- 2030 period, the growing area is expected to expand to about 250,000 ha in 2050.
