Abstract

The coconut (Cocos nucifera), which is one of the most important perennial sources of vegetable oil, has been consumed in tropical countries for thousands of years. Compared with all other oilseed crops, coconut is more productive, more consistently productive, and less susceptible to climatic variations. Of the 97 countries in which coconut palms are grown, Philippines, Indonesia, India, Vietnam, Mexico, Papua New Guinea, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, and Thailand produce almost 90% of the world’s coconut oil.
