– Coconut Production refers to the total quantity of coconuts harvested and produced within a country during a specified period, measured in tonnes.
America Coconut Production was 5,705 Thousand Tonnes in 2024, up 6.9% on 2023. The America Coconut Production dataset provides a comprehensive assessment of the region’s coconut production performance and agricultural output trends between 2015 and 2024.
America Coconut Production moved from 4,889 Thousand Tonnes in 2015 to 5,705 Thousand Tonnes in 2024 (+16.7%), an average of +1.7% a year. The series high was 5,705 Thousand Tonnes in 2024 and the low 4,574 Thousand Tonnes in 2017.
The gap between the series high (2024) and low (2017) is 1,131 Thousand Tonnes. The sharpest single-year move was +8.7% in 2022.
Within America, Brazil has the highest value in 2024 at 3,158 Thousand Tonnes, 55.4% of the regional total.

Data definition
Coconut Production — – Coconut Production refers to the total quantity of coconuts harvested and produced within a country during a specified period, measured in tonnes. The indicator reflects the scale of coconut cultivation, agricultural productivity, and the contribution of coconut farming to the agricultural sector. It is used to assess production capacity, food supply availability, and the role of coconut cultivation in domestic and international agricultural markets. The data presented by Our World in Data is based on statistics from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
The data includes the annual production of coconuts harvested from coconut palm trees and recorded as primary agricultural output. It covers coconuts produced for fresh consumption, processing into coconut oil, coconut milk, desiccated coconut, copra, and other coconut-based products. The figures represent harvested coconut quantities collected from official agricultural statistics and standardized by the FAO to support international comparison across countries and years.
The data excludes processed coconut products such as coconut oil, coconut milk, copra, desiccated coconut, and other value-added products. It also excludes coconut exports and imports, coconut cultivation area, yield per hectare, post-harvest losses, inventory changes, and informal or unrecorded production not captured in official agricultural statistics. Other tropical crops and oil-bearing crops such as palm oil, soybean, and sunflower are not included in this indicator.

Measured in Thousand Tonnes, the dataset serves as an important benchmark for evaluating coconut cultivation capacity, agricultural productivity, crop output, regional supply availability, farming activity, and the overall development of the coconut agriculture sector across America. Based on the validated data, America’s coconut production experienced moderate fluctuations during the study period, followed by strong expansion in recent years. Regional production declined from 4,888.95 thousand tonnes in 2015 to 4,574.09 thousand tonnes in 2017, marking the lowest production level during the period. Output recovered gradually to 4,723.87 thousand tonnes in 2018 and remained relatively stable between 2019 and 2021. Production increased significantly to 5,100.35 thousand tonnes in 2022, followed by further growth to 5,337.67 thousand tonnes in 2023 and reaching a study-period high of 5,704.60 thousand tonnes in 2024. The overall trend highlights improving production capacity, stronger agricultural output, and positive development within the regional coconut sector. Brazil remained the largest contributor to America’s coconut production, increasing from 2,679.22 thousand tonnes in 2015 to 3,158.02 thousand tonnes in 2024, supporting regional production growth. Mexico maintained a stable production base, ranging from 1,072.00 thousand tonnes in 2015 to 1,127.65 thousand tonnes in 2024. Colombia recorded initial growth followed by lower output after 2021, while Peru showed gradual improvement throughout the period. The dataset provides valuable insights into America’s coconut production trends, regional agricultural performance, and supply chain development. It supports year-over-year analysis, country-level benchmarking, production forecasting, and market evaluation. Farmers, policymakers, processors, exporters, investors, researchers, and industry analysts can utilize the dataset to assess production trends, identify investment opportunities, improve agricultural strategies, strengthen coconut value chains, and support sustainable growth across America’s agriculture sector.
