World Coconut Day is observed globally every year on September 2 to highlight the socio-economic and nutritional significance of the crop.
World Coconut Day marks the founding day of the Asian and Pacific Coconut Community (APCC), an intergovernmental organization established to promote and coordinate the coconut industry. The day was first observed in 2009 to raise awareness about the versatile benefits of the coconut, ranging from food security to industrial applications. It serves as a platform to support the livelihood of millions of farmers across the Asia-Pacific region, which accounts for a significant portion of global production. The celebration emphasizes the sustainable development of the coconut sector and encourages the adoption of improved agricultural practices.
The International Coconut Community (ICC), formerly known as the Asian and Pacific Coconut Community (APCC), is the apex body for global coconut policy. It is headquartered in Jakarta, Indonesia, and works closely with the Ministries of Agriculture in member nations to improve productivity and provide technical support.
