– Coconut Production refers to the total quantity of coconuts harvested and produced within a country during a specified period, measured in tonnes.
Europe Coconut Production was 4.44 Thousand Tonnes in 2017, down 2.9% on 2016. The Europe Coconut Production dataset provides an assessment of the region’s coconut production performance and agricultural output trends between 2015 and 2017. Measured in Tonnes, the dataset serves as a benchmark for evaluating coconut cultivation activity, agricultural productivity, crop output, and the role of coconut production within Europe’s agricultural landscape.
Europe Coconut Production moved from 0.652 Thousand Tonnes in 2015 to 4.44 Thousand Tonnes in 2017 (+581.3%), an average of +161% a year. The series high was 4.58 Thousand Tonnes in 2016 and the low 0.652 Thousand Tonnes in 2015.
The gap between the series high (2016) and low (2015) is 3.92 Thousand Tonnes. The sharpest single-year move was +601.9% in 2016.
Within Europe, France has the highest value in 2017 at 4.44 Thousand Tonnes, 100% 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.

Based on the validated data, Europe’s coconut production recorded a significant increase during the study period, followed by a slight decline in the final year. Regional production increased from 652 tonnes in 2015 to 4,576.60 tonnes in 2016, representing substantial growth in recorded output. Production remained relatively stable at 4,442 tonnes in 2017, with a minor decrease compared with 2016 but significantly higher than the initial production level. The overall trend highlights a rapid increase in coconut production during the observed period, followed by stabilization at an elevated level. France was the only contributing country in the available dataset and accounted for the total regional coconut production. France’s production increased from 652 tonnes in 2015 to 4,576.60 tonnes in 2016 before declining slightly to 4,442 tonnes in 2017. This production pattern reflects changes in recorded agricultural output and indicates the limited but growing presence of coconut cultivation within Europe. The dataset provides valuable insights into Europe’s coconut production trends, agricultural performance, and production variations over time. It supports year-over-year analysis, historical benchmarking, production assessment, and evaluation of niche crop development within the region. Policymakers, agricultural researchers, food industry stakeholders, investors, and market analysts can utilize the dataset to evaluate production potential, forecast future output, assess supply availability, and identify opportunities related to coconut-based food processing and agricultural diversification. The information supports evidence-based planning and understanding of specialized crop development within Europe’s agricultural sector.
