Recently, the temperature in Nanning has soared to nearly 35°C. Ms. Zhang lingered in front of the supermarket freezer for ten minutes and finally picked up a bottle of Thai imported coconut water with a fresh package.

• Unique variety advantage: The natural sweetness of perfume coconuts is 30% higher than that of ordinary coconuts, and they have a special floral fragrance.

After Ms. Li's beverage store started using Thai coconut water to prepare drinks, the repurchase rate increased by 45%. "Customers say their throats feel very comfortable after drinking, without the sticky feeling of artificial flavors," she said.
