India stands as a global leader in coconut production, with the Coconut Development Board (CDB) playing a pivotal role in enhancing the international presence of Indian coconut products. Established under the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, the CDB has been instrumental in implementing strategies that boost both the quality and export volume of coconut derivatives.

India’s Coconut Production and Export Landscape

As of the 2022-2023 period, India cultivated coconuts over approximately 2.28 million hectares, yielding around 20.54 billion nuts. This extensive production underscores India’s significant position in the global coconut industry.

In terms of exports, there has been a notable upward trajectory. The export value of coconut products, excluding coir, reached ₹3,554.23 crore in 2022-2023, marking a 9.81% increase from the previous year. This growth reflects the rising global demand for Indian coconut products and the effectiveness of the CDB’s initiatives.

CDB’s Initiatives to Enhance Global Reach

The CDB has launched several programs aimed at improving the competitiveness and appeal of Indian coconut products in international markets:

1. Technology Mission on Coconut (TMOC): This initiative focuses on developing and disseminating technologies to enhance coconut processing and value addition. By promoting innovative processing techniques, the TMOC aims to improve product quality and diversify the range of coconut-based products available for export.
2. Export Promotion Council: The CDB’s Export Promotion Council provides exporters with essential services, including market intelligence, assistance with export documentation, and participation in international trade fairs. These efforts are designed to enhance the visibility and acceptance of Indian coconut products globally.
3. Quality Assurance and Certification: To meet international quality standards, the CDB offers certification programs that ensure products comply with global benchmarks. This certification enhances consumer confidence and facilitates smoother entry into foreign markets.
