Data definition

Inclusions and exclusions

Coconut Production โ€” โ€“ 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).

Inclusions

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.

Exclusions

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.

About this indicator

Coconut Production โ€” โ€“ 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).

Measured in Million Tonnes, the dataset serves as an important benchmark for evaluating coconut cultivation capacity, agricultural productivity, crop output, farming activity, supply chain development, and the overall growth of Myanmarโ€™s coconut agriculture sector. Based on the validated data, Myanmarโ€™s coconut production showed moderate fluctuations during the study period while maintaining a relatively stable production base. Production started at 1.27 million tonnes in 2015 and declined slightly to 1.23 million tonnes in 2016 and 2017. Output increased to 1.41 million tonnes in 2018, representing the highest production level during the period. Production declined to 1.28 million tonnes in 2019, followed by further decreases to 1.25 million tonnes in 2020 and 1.22 million tonnes in 2021, which marked the lowest output level. Production recovered to 1.24 million tonnes in 2022 and continued increasing to 1.30 million tonnes in 2023 and 1.33 million tonnes in 2024. The overall trend highlights a stable production base with temporary fluctuations, followed by gradual recovery and improvement in recent years. The dataset provides valuable insights into Myanmarโ€™s coconut production trends, agricultural performance, and sector development. It supports year-over-year analysis, evaluation of production fluctuations, benchmarking against major coconut-producing countries, and assessment of future supply potential. Farmers, policymakers, agricultural organizations, processors, exporters, investors, researchers, and market analysts can use the dataset to forecast production, improve cultivation strategies, identify investment opportunities, and strengthen coconut value chains. The data also supports understanding the role of coconut farming in rural economic development, food processing industries, agricultural diversification, and sustainable farming initiatives. It enables evidence-based planning to enhance productivity, improve supply chain efficiency, and promote long-term growth within Myanmarโ€™s coconut sector.
