Data definition
Inclusions and exclusions
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.
