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 Million Tonnes, the dataset serves as an important benchmark for evaluating coconut cultivation capacity, agricultural productivity, crop availability, farming performance, supply chain strength, and the overall development of the Philippines’ coconut industry. Based on the validated data, the Philippines maintained a high level of coconut production throughout the study period, although output experienced moderate fluctuations. Production started at 14.74 million tonnes in 2015 and declined to 13.83 million tonnes in 2016. Output recovered slightly to 14.05 million tonnes in 2017 and increased to 14.73 million tonnes in 2018. Production remained stable at 14.77 million tonnes in 2019 before declining marginally to 14.49 million tonnes in 2020. Coconut output improved to 14.72 million tonnes in 2021 and reached 14.93 million tonnes in 2022, representing the highest production level during the study period. Production slightly decreased to 14.89 million tonnes in 2023 and further declined to 14.50 million tonnes in 2024. The overall trend highlights a stable but fluctuating production pattern, with output consistently remaining above 13 million tonnes.
The dataset provides valuable insights into the Philippines’ coconut production trends, agricultural resilience, and industry performance. It supports year-over-year analysis, international benchmarking with leading coconut producers such as Indonesia, India, and Vietnam, and evaluation of production stability. The data can be utilized by farmers, policymakers, processors, exporters, investors, researchers, and market analysts to assess production capacity, forecast future output, improve farming strategies, and identify value-chain opportunities. It also supports decision-making related to coconut-based food processing, export development, rural livelihoods, agricultural innovation, and sustainable growth within the Philippines’ agricultural sector.
