Coir mat used on roads

In Vietnam, there is a vast area in which millions of coconut trees are being grown for agriculture purposes. That area locates in Tra Vinh, a Southern region of Vietnam. Previously, coconuts were mainly harvested to be sold as a kind of beverage. After taking the coconut water inside coconut husks, these coconut shells and husks were often disposed as trash. However, about 10 years ago, the local people began to think of a way to make use of these coconut shells as a material in making eco-friendly products. The idea of extracting coir fiber from coconut shells to make coir mat appeared and created a new industry of making coir mat for exporting. This industry remained its popularity and attraction until now.
