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, Taiwan recorded a gradual decline in coconut production throughout the study period, indicating a reduction in annual output levels over time. Production started at 21.01 thousand tonnes in 2015 and declined to 19.63 thousand tonnes in 2016. Output recovered slightly to 20.35 thousand tonnes in 2017 before decreasing again to 19.56 thousand tonnes in 2018. Production continued to decline to 18.96 thousand tonnes in 2019 and 17.89 thousand tonnes in 2020. The downward trend continued with output reaching 17.17 thousand tonnes in 2021, followed by further reductions to 16.83 thousand tonnes in 2022, 16.52 thousand tonnes in 2023, and 16.11 thousand tonnes in 2024. The overall trend highlights a consistent reduction in coconut production capacity during the decade, with output declining significantly compared with the initial year.
The dataset provides valuable insights into Taiwan’s coconut production trends, agricultural changes, and supply-side developments. It enables year-over-year analysis, evaluation of production decline patterns, and benchmarking against other Asian coconut-producing countries. The data can support policymakers, farmers, agricultural organizations, processors, investors, researchers, and market analysts in assessing production challenges, forecasting future output, improving agricultural strategies, and identifying opportunities for sector development. It also contributes to understanding crop diversification, resource management, food processing potential, and sustainable agricultural planning within Taiwan’s agricultural ecosystem.
