Currently, GC Food's aloe vera jelly and coconut jelly are present in 22 countries, with Japan and Korea being two traditional markets that provide stable revenue thanks to the advantages of trade agreements.
In addition, China and India are emerging as highly potential markets. According to Mr. Nguyen Van Thu, Chairman of GC Food Group, in 2023, the group exported more than 1,000 tons of coconut jelly to India and is piloting shipments to China.
"We expect revenue from the Chinese market to account for 15% of total revenue by 2025. With competitive pricing, GC Food's products are about 20% cheaper than Thai products, thanks to lower labor costs," Mr. Thu said.
GC Food Group is expanding its production capacity to 50,000 tons/year by 2025, while developing value-added product lines such as mixed fruit jelly, collagen aloe vera jelly, aloe vera drinks... These products will help GC Food diversify its product portfolio and meet the increasing demands of domestic and international consumers.
