Sokfarm is the brainchild of two young founders who came back to their hometown in Vietnam and started an agricultural revolution.

In 2018, Chal Thi – an expert in Food Technology and her husband Dinh Ngai – an electrical engineer decided to start Sokfarm, a local Vietnamese social enterprise that would specialize in collecting coconut nectar, using a rare traditional Khmer method.

Coconut nectar is a vegetarian product. It has a sweet and salty taste and it’s full of minerals. It’s known to boost immunity and balance the electrolyte count in the body.

Collecting nectar is a delicate process where coconut flowers need to be gently massaged at least twice a day. The farmer makes a small cut on one end and gently massages the flowers before tapping them with a wooden log to stimulate the nectar flow.

Sokfarm hopes that its products will help local farmers generate alternate ways of income and raise awareness about eco-friendly and sustainable methods of farming.
