Congratulations to Vietnam for joining the International Macadamia industry which includes Australia USA South Africa China and a number of other countries growing the worlds finest nut. The nut is a native of Australia s rainforest and is still largely unknown this is despite the fact that it is one of the healthiest and finest tasting nuts the world has to offer. Growing Macadamia in Vietnam has the potential to enhance economic socials and environmental values of the country while at the same time helping to expand the global macadamia production of a higher value tree crop.
