  • How much coconut does Malaysia import a year?
  • On average, Malaysia imports 120,000 MT of coconut a year. Import of coconut is expected to increase further, especially with the development of the downstream industries for coconut products such as coconut milk powder, activated carbon, coco-peat and coconut water, as well as new products such as virgin coconut oil and yogurt.
  • How do coconut farms work in Malaysia?
  • Most of the farms in the coconut industry in Malaysia are run by small holders who own farms of between 1.0 and 2.5 hectares. The majority of farmers grow tall type coconuts like Malayan Tall and have already matured or become old. Older trees produce low yields and generate low income as well.
  • Why is coconut important in Malaysia?
  • Coconut is one of the important food crops in Malaysia in terms of land usage, after oil palm, rubber and paddy. Coconut cultivation provides source of income for more than 100,000 families and generates revenue from the export of coconut-based products. Despite its importance, coconut was perceived as a ¡®dying industry¡¯ in Malaysia.
  • Why are coconuts declining in Malaysia?
  • One of the reasons that contributed to the decline in the area cultivated with coconut, is the competition with lucrative activities. Farmers shifted their interest to other commodities such as oil palm and housing development. As a consequence, Malaysia imports coconuts from neighboring countries valued at RM231.79 (US$55.20) million in 2020.
