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 Million Tonnes, the dataset serves as an important benchmark for evaluating coconut cultivation capacity, agricultural productivity, crop output, farming efficiency, supply chain development, and the overall growth of Brazil’s coconut industry. Based on the validated data, Brazil’s coconut production experienced fluctuations during the study period, followed by a strong recovery and expansion in recent years. Production started at 2.68 million tonnes in 2015 and declined slightly to 2.63 million tonnes in 2016. Output decreased further to 2.21 million tonnes in 2017, representing the lowest production level during the period. Production recovered to 2.35 million tonnes in 2018 and remained at the same level in 2019. Coconut output increased to 2.43 million tonnes in 2020 and continued rising to 2.47 million tonnes in 2021. Production recorded stronger growth in subsequent years, reaching 2.74 million tonnes in 2022, 2.90 million tonnes in 2023, and achieving the highest output of 3.16 million tonnes in 2024. The overall trend highlights Brazil’s improving coconut production capacity, with significant growth after 2019 and a strong upward trajectory toward the end of the study period.
The dataset provides valuable insights into Brazil’s coconut production trends, agricultural performance, and industry development. It enables year-over-year analysis, benchmarking against major coconut-producing countries, and evaluation of long-term production growth. The data can support farmers, policymakers, agricultural organizations, processors, exporters, investors, researchers, and market analysts in forecasting future production, assessing supply potential, identifying investment opportunities, and improving cultivation strategies. It also contributes to understanding coconut farming’s role in Brazil’s agricultural value chain, food processing sector, rural economic development, and sustainable agricultural planning.
