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 expansion, supply chain development, and the growth of Peru’s coconut agriculture sector. Based on the validated data, Peru recorded a consistent upward trend in coconut production throughout the study period, demonstrating gradual expansion in production capacity. Production started at 34.10 thousand tonnes in 2015 and declined slightly to 32.35 thousand tonnes in 2016. Output recovered marginally to 32.65 thousand tonnes in 2017 and increased to 32.92 thousand tonnes in 2018. Production continued rising to 34.57 thousand tonnes in 2019 and 36.42 thousand tonnes in 2020. Coconut output further increased to 38.94 thousand tonnes in 2021 and reached 39.83 thousand tonnes in 2022. Production continued its positive momentum with 40.96 thousand tonnes in 2023 and achieved the highest recorded output of 41.01 thousand tonnes in 2024. The overall trend highlights steady and continuous production growth, with output increasing significantly compared with the beginning of the study period.
The dataset provides valuable insights into Peru’s coconut production trends, agricultural development, and supply growth potential. It supports year-over-year analysis, benchmarking with regional coconut producers, and forecasting future production capacity. The data can assist farmers, policymakers, agricultural organizations, processors, exporters, investors, and researchers in evaluating production performance, identifying investment opportunities, improving cultivation efficiency, and strengthening coconut value chains. It also contributes to understanding agricultural diversification, rural economic development, food processing opportunities, and sustainable farming strategies within Peru’s agriculture sector.
