Vanuatu's Department of Cooperatives has more than 45,000 fresh dry coconuts available from a cooperative farm in Malekula for sale in Port Vila and around Efate.
The director of co-operatives Ridley Joseph says this is the second shipment and sells for about US$10 dollars a bag.
Each bag has about 34 nuts inside.
Mr Joseph says the Malekula co-operative will continue to supply Port Vila with dry nuts until the Cyclone Pam-devastated coconut plantations on Efate return to production.
Mr Joseph says dry coconut is a healthy agricultural product which adds nutrition to foodstuffs in the absence of vegetables.
