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, farming practices, supply availability, and the overall development of Bangladesh’s coconut agriculture sector. Based on the validated data, Bangladesh’s coconut production showed moderate fluctuations throughout the study period while maintaining a relatively stable production base. Production started at 383.83 thousand tonnes in 2015 and declined slightly to 374.27 thousand tonnes in 2016. Output recovered significantly to 408.64 thousand tonnes in 2017 and increased further to 466.98 thousand tonnes in 2018, representing the highest production level during the early period. Production declined to 431.60 thousand tonnes in both 2019 and 2020, followed by a further decrease to 402.85 thousand tonnes in 2021. Output recovered slightly to 411.97 thousand tonnes in 2022 before declining to 403.66 thousand tonnes in 2023 and 400.39 thousand tonnes in 2024. The overall trend indicates fluctuations in annual production, with output remaining relatively stable but below the peak level recorded in 2018.
The dataset provides valuable insights into Bangladesh’s coconut production trends, agricultural stability, and supply-side developments. It enables year-over-year analysis, production benchmarking with other Asian coconut-producing countries, and evaluation of long-term output patterns. The data can support farmers, policymakers, agricultural organizations, processors, exporters, investors, researchers, and market analysts in forecasting production, assessing market opportunities, improving farming efficiency, and strengthening agricultural planning. It also contributes to understanding coconut farming’s role in rural livelihoods, food processing industries, agricultural diversification, and sustainable economic development. The dataset supports strategic decision-making for improving productivity, enhancing value-chain efficiency, and promoting long-term growth within Bangladesh’s coconut sector.
