Coconuts, in Shell Consumption by Country
India held 9,383,926 tonnes of in-shell coconut supply in 2023, 40.6 percent of the 23,101,085-tonne total. Indonesia came second and Brazil third. Per person, Micronesia led, while India managed 17.88. Thailand's five-year fall and Brazil's steady climb shaped the period. All figures count food available for human consumption, not actual intake.
Coconut Consumption by Country: Key Findings
India had the largest reported in-shell coconut food supply in 2023 at 9,383,926 tonnes, followed by Indonesia at 3,957,880 tonnes and Brazil at 2,500,492 tonnes. Together, these three countries accounted for 68.6 percent of the 23,101,085 tonnes reported across countries with a 2023 value.
Micronesia had the highest per-person coconut supply at 656.77 grams per person per day, followed by Vanuatu at 517.87 grams and the Marshall Islands at 499.97 grams. India ranked first by total volume but recorded 17.88 grams per person per day.
Between 2019 and 2023, Brazil recorded the largest increase in coconut supply, adding 433,192 tonnes, while Thailand recorded the largest decline, falling by 397,000 tonnes. These figures represent food available for human consumption rather than the amount actually eaten.
Sri Lanka placed fourth at 1,105,428 tonnes and Myanmar fifth at 1,093,312, with China sixth (931,366), the Philippines seventh (744,621) and Papua New Guinea eighth (584,301). Tanzania (299,923) and Vietnam (275,364) completed the top ten. The top three held 68.6 percent of the total, and India stood 2.37 times Indonesia. Per person, Vanuatu and the Marshall Islands followed Micronesia, with Kiribati at 386.57. Across the 171 countries with values in both 2022 and 2023, supply rose 2.4 percent from 22,551,180 tonnes, a gain of 549,905 tonnes. India added 682,964 tonnes (7.8 percent up) while Sri Lanka shed 125,573 (10.2 percent down). Brazil added 109,650 tonnes and Thailand lost 103,609. One country left with nothing reported. Among the 167 countries reporting in both 2019 and 2023, the total climbed 2.8 percent from 22,481,677 tonnes, a gain of 618,323 tonnes. Brazil added 433,192 tonnes, accounting for 70.1 percent of that net rise, while Indonesia added 411,434 tonnes. Thailand's 397,000-tonne fall offset 64.2 percent, with China up 298,556 tonnes and Sri Lanka down 232,845. Four countries entered with 1,085 tonnes between them. Micronesia's 656.77 grams a day led the per-person table, ahead of Vanuatu at 517.87 and the Marshall Islands at 499.97. Kiribati (386.57) and Tuvalu (351.93) followed, with Nauru sixth at 315.85 and Comoros seventh at 247.85. Papua New Guinea (154.08), Sri Lanka (131.84) and the Solomon Islands (129.27) came next. India, first by a wide margin on volume, sat far down the per-person table at 17.88 grams, while Indonesia managed 38.56. This page follows the SUA item labelled Coconuts, in shell, and counts only its rows; World, regional and aggregate rows are not in the table. The annual listed supply total sums the countries with a 2023 value. Food here means supply available for people to eat in the reference year, not amounts eaten. Thailand's supply fell from 440,000 tonnes in 2019 to 43,000 in 2023, with the sharpest drop between 2021 and 2022. Malaysia moved the same way on a smaller scale, from 229,026 tonnes in 2019 to 160,000. Brazil, by contrast, climbed every year from 2,067,300 to 2,500,492. For coconuts in shell, tonnage follows element 5141 and daily grams follow element 665 across 2019 to 2023. A change is measured from the earlier year; none is stated from a zero base. Only countries present in both compared years enter a change. A reported zero is not a blank, and blanks never stand in for zeros. The file holds 172 countries after removing World, regional and aggregate rows; 171 of them carry 2023 values. The numbers describe food available for human consumption.

Methodology
Frequently Asked Questions
Which country has the highest coconut supply per person?
Micronesia, at 656.77 grams per person per day in 2023, ahead of Vanuatu at 517.87 and the Marshall Islands at 499.97, among the 171 countries with a 2023 value.
How much coconut supply was reported in 2023?
Reported 2023 supply totaled 23,101,085 tonnes. That was up 2.4 percent from 22,551,180 tonnes in 2022, a gain of 549,905 tonnes for human consumption overall.
How much did India's supply change?
India rose from 8,700,962 tonnes in 2022 to 9,383,926 in 2023, a gain of 682,964 tonnes or 7.8 percent, the largest single-year rise in the latest comparison.
Does coconut supply equal food people ate?
No. Across 172 countries, the figures measure food available for human consumption in the reference year, not actual intake, so they describe supply rather than eaten amounts.
How much did Thailand's supply fall?
Thailand fell from 440,000 tonnes in 2019 to 43,000 in 2023, a loss of 397,000 tonnes or 90.2 percent, the steepest five-year fall in the table.
