Top 10 coconut producing countries
Here are the top 10 coconut-producing countries in the world, based on recent data from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations.
Coconut production is measured in terms of metric tons of nuts produced per year.



The Top 10 Coconut Producing Countries
| Rank | Country | Estimated Annual Production (Metric Tons) | Key Facts |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Indonesia | ~ 17,000,000 | The undisputed global leader, with vast plantations across its many islands. A cornerstone of its agricultural economy. |
| 2 | Philippines | ~ 14,000,000 | A close second. Coconuts are a major export commodity, and the country is a leading exporter of coconut oil and desiccated coconut. |
| 3 | India | ~ 12,000,000 | Major production comes from the southern states like Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka. Primarily serves a large domestic market. |
| 4 | Sri Lanka | ~ 2,500,000 | Coconuts (known as "the tree of life") are deeply integrated into the culture and cuisine. A key export product. |
| 5 | Brazil | ~ 2,300,000 | The largest producer in the Americas. Production is concentrated in the northeastern region of the country. |
| 6 | Vietnam | ~ 1,800,000 | A significant and growing producer, with a strong focus on both domestic consumption and export. |
| 7 | Papua New Guinea | ~ 1,700,000 | Coconut is a vital cash crop for many smallholder farmers and a key part of the agricultural sector. |
| 8 | Mexico | ~ 1,200,000 | Production is mainly located along the country's tropical coastlines. Serves both domestic and export markets. |
| 9 | Thailand | ~ 1,000,000 | While a major producer, a large portion of its harvest is for young coconut (for water and soft meat) for both tourism and export. |
| 10 | Malaysia | ~ 700,000 | A steady producer, with a growing industry in high-value products like coconut water and virgin coconut oil. |
Key Context and Global Picture
-
Dominance of Asia: The top four producers are all in Asia, which collectively accounts for over 80% of global coconut production.
-
The "Tree of Life": The coconut palm is incredibly versatile. Its products go far beyond the nut and include:
-
Food & Drink: Coconut Water, Coconut Milk/Oil, Desiccated Coconut, Copra.
-
Fibers: Coir (used for mats, brushes, and horticulture).
-
Timber & Leaves: Building materials and thatching.
-
Industrial Uses: Activated carbon, soaps, and cosmetics.
-
-
Smallholder Farming: Unlike some other crops, coconut production is largely dominated by small-scale farmers (around 10-12 million worldwide), not large plantations. This makes the industry vital for rural livelihoods.
Important Note: Production figures can vary significantly from year to year due to weather events (like typhoons), crop cycles, disease, and market prices. The numbers provided are estimates to give a clear picture of the global ranking.
