Coconut Industry
The coconut industry involves the cultivation, processing, and distribution of coconuts and their by-products. Coconuts are grown primarily in tropical regions, with major producers including Indonesia, the Philippines, and India. The industry provides various products such as coconut oil, milk, water, and copra, which is the dried meat of the coconut.
Coconuts are not only a source of food and drink but also play a significant role in local economies. The industry supports millions of farmers and workers, contributing to livelihoods and community development. Sustainable practices are increasingly emphasized to protect the environment and ensure long-term viability.
