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, supply chain performance, and the overall development of Thailand’s coconut industry. Based on the validated data, Thailand’s coconut production experienced notable fluctuations throughout the study period while maintaining an overall positive recovery trend. Production remained stable at 904.09 thousand tonnes in 2015 and 2016, before declining to 761.91 thousand tonnes in 2017. Output recovered to 858.24 thousand tonnes in 2018 and increased further to 866.42 thousand tonnes in 2019. Production declined significantly to 618.25 thousand tonnes in 2020, representing the lowest output during the study period. Coconut production rebounded strongly to 938.67 thousand tonnes in 2021 and continued increasing to 973.91 thousand tonnes in 2022. Output slightly decreased to 970.34 thousand tonnes in 2023 before reaching 975.24 thousand tonnes in 2024, the highest production level recorded. The overall trend reflects production volatility followed by strong recovery and expansion in recent years.
The dataset provides valuable insights into Thailand’s coconut production trends, agricultural resilience, and industry growth potential. It supports year-over-year analysis, benchmarking against major producers such as Indonesia, the Philippines, and India, and evaluation of long-term production performance. The data can assist farmers, policymakers, processors, exporters, investors, and researchers in forecasting future production, improving farming efficiency, identifying investment opportunities, and strengthening coconut-based value chains. It also supports export planning, food processing development, rural economic growth, and sustainable agricultural innovation.
