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 activity, supply availability, and the overall development of Colombia’s coconut agriculture sector. Based on the validated data, Colombia’s coconut production showed moderate growth during the initial years, followed by a decline and partial recovery in later years. Production increased from 130.66 thousand tonnes in 2015 to 135.91 thousand tonnes in 2016, followed by further growth to 142.24 thousand tonnes in 2017. Output slightly declined to 140.25 thousand tonnes in 2018 before increasing to 145.58 thousand tonnes in 2019. Production continued improving to 153.80 thousand tonnes in 2020 and reached 155.08 thousand tonnes in 2021, the highest production level recorded during the period. However, output declined significantly to 118.05 thousand tonnes in 2022 and remained lower at 117.68 thousand tonnes in 2023. Production recovered slightly to 119.07 thousand tonnes in 2024. The overall trend reflects early-stage growth followed by a production decline after 2021, indicating changes in cultivation conditions and output levels.
The dataset provides valuable insights into Colombia’s coconut production trends, agricultural fluctuations, and sector performance. It supports year-over-year analysis, comparison with other coconut-producing countries, and assessment of production recovery opportunities. The dataset can assist farmers, policymakers, processors, exporters, investors, and researchers in evaluating production capacity, forecasting future output, improving agricultural planning, and identifying market opportunities. It also supports understanding coconut farming’s contribution to rural development, food processing, and sustainable agricultural growth.
