India's coconut exports recorded an impressive growth of 62% in the financial year 2025–26, reaching ₹7,038.25 crore. This growth was mainly driven by increasing international demand for value-added coconut products and the expansion of export markets to 155 countries. Coconut-based products have growing applications in various industries, including food processing, pharmaceuticals and water purification. World Coconut Day 2026 will be observed on September 2, 2026, at the Mount Carmel Convention Centre in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. The theme is "Coconuts in Times of Uncertainty: Securing Food, Energy, and Livelihoods."
