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.

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 expansion, supply chain development, and the overall growth of Vietnam’s coconut industry. Based on the validated data, Vietnam recorded a consistent upward trend in coconut production throughout the study period, reflecting continuous improvements in cultivation activities and production capacity. Coconut production increased from 1.44 million tonnes in 2015 to 1.47 million tonnes in 2016, followed by further growth to 1.50 million tonnes in 2017. Output continued to rise to 1.57 million tonnes in 2018 and 1.68 million tonnes in 2019, indicating sustained production expansion. Production increased further to 1.72 million tonnes in 2020, followed by growth to 1.87 million tonnes in 2021 and 1.92 million tonnes in 2022. Coconut output reached 2.13 million tonnes in 2023 and achieved the highest production level of 2.28 million tonnes in 2024. The overall trend demonstrates strong and consistent growth in Vietnam’s coconut production sector, with output increasing significantly over the decade.
The dataset provides valuable insights into Vietnam’s coconut production trends, agricultural development, and industry performance. It enables year-over-year production analysis, benchmarking against major coconut-producing countries such as Indonesia, the Philippines, and India, and evaluation of long-term production growth. The data can support farmers, policymakers, agribusinesses, exporters, processors, investors, market analysts, and researchers in forecasting future coconut output, assessing supply potential, identifying investment opportunities, and improving agricultural planning. It also contributes to understanding the role of coconut cultivation in rural economic development, food processing industries, export opportunities, and sustainable agricultural practices. The dataset supports strategic decision-making for strengthening Vietnam’s coconut value chain, improving productivity, and promoting innovation across the agricultural sector.
