Trang Coconut Farmer Finds Success with Unique Cultivation Method
A coconut farmer in Huai Yot, Trang, has gained local popularity by using a salt-based cultivation technique to produce high-quality, sweet coconuts.
According to a report by Khaosod Online Thailand on September 24, 2026, a farmer named Nirut Sudchim in Ban Nong Hoi, Trang province, has successfully implemented a unique cultivation method for his coconut plantation. By applying a salt-based formula to the leaves and roots of his 120 coconut trees, he has managed to produce high-quality, aromatic coconuts with sweet water and fine white flesh.
This method has reportedly made the trees more resilient to pests and diseases, resulting in a consistent harvest of at least 50 coconuts per week. The produce is currently sold directly at the farm for 10 baht per fruit, a price point that has remained stable throughout the year. The high demand for these coconuts has led to customers visiting the farm directly and placing advance orders.
For residents and visitors in the Trang area, this farm represents a local success story in agricultural innovation. While the quality of the coconuts is highly regarded by local consumers, the long-term environmental impact of the salt-based soil treatment on the plantation's land remains a subject for further observation. Those interested in visiting the farm or purchasing the produce are encouraged to contact local agricultural outlets for more information on availability.
