The Philippines is the earliest coconut producer in the world and the country with the largest coconut area. More than 1 / 4 of the country's land is used to grow coconut. In order to help coconut farmers increase income, improve production and promote industry development, the Philippine Coconut authority formulated a coconut industry (Development) road map in July this year, including strategic initiatives to improve the competitiveness of traditional and non-traditional coconut products in local and global markets, and strengthen trade and marketing. The quality of coconuts sorted by coconut classifier is obviously improved, which is beneficial to improve its market competitiveness.
It is reported that the statistical report released by the Philippine Embassy in China shows that the Philippines has become the second largest coconut supplier in China in 2020. The Philippines exported about 43000 tons of coconut products to China throughout the year, accounting for 27% of China's Coconut market share. The Philippine Coconut authority said that the next goal is to become the largest coconut supplier in the Chinese market.
In 2019, Philippine green coconuts were approved for export to China, and a large number of fresh coconuts were able to enter the Chinese market. At the same time, coconut water, coconut milk, coconut oil and coconut sugar from the Philippines also continue to be exported to China in large quantities.
