How can I meet the business partner who interest on project funding for Coconut Industry in Indonesia?

The world consumes its coconuts as oil (%), fresh (%), desiccated (5%) and a small amount of a long list of other products (by volume). The annual wholesale value of the coconut sector can be estimated as approximately US$. million for comprised of; coconut oil US$. million, fresh nuts, US$. million, desiccated coconut US$. million, other kernel products US$. million, husk products US$. million, shell products US$. million.

Domestic markets in producing countries dominate world demand, consuming around% of all nuts each year with a value of US$.3.8 billion.  Thus, India, Indonesia and Philippines are the biggest coconut consumers, with Brazil and China the fastest growing markets.  Export markets were worth approximately US$2.3 billion in, consuming% of nuts and are dominated by kernel products. For kernel products,% of all exports (in nut equivalent) were in the form of oil (%), copra1 (4%) and desiccated coconut (%). In volume terms, coconut meal is a major byproduct from oil production and is consumed for animal feed in domestic and export markets.

In terms of other kernel products, coconut milk is one of the largest volume high value products, with an estimated annual market volume of, -, MT and growing.

Sales of husk products are equivalent to the husks from approximately US$.5 Billion nuts per year – just9% of all available husks. Major products are coir yarn, rope, matting and mats. Of these products,% by volume are consumed in domestic markets, mostly in India, and% are exported.

Exports of husk products (mostly as coir products) and shell (mostly as activated carbon) are relatively small in value terms at approximately US$. million and US$. million, respectively in. This is mainly due to the small amounts of available husks and shells that are processed in most countries. The notable exceptions to this are Sri Lanka, Vietnam and some areas of India and Thailand.

In terms of unit value addition, kernel products are the most important in terms of industry level value creation. Kernel products on a commercial scale can achieve values of US$./1, nuts or more. Husk products can also create significant value at commercial scale of around US$./1, nuts while shell products can create US$.- / nuts.

In terms of supply, the Asia Pacific region accounts for% of global production, with the “Big Three” countries producing% - Indonesia ( billion nuts), India ( billion) and Philippines ( billion). Brazil is the fourth biggest producer (3.5 billion) and the only big producer outside Asia-Pacific. Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam have good yields, of5, –7, nuts per hectare per year compared to the world average of4,. Despite high yields, Thailand, Sri Lanka and Malaysia have seen significant falls in the coconut production area in the5 years to, of%,% and% respectively. Vietnam and India are the only two higher yield countries that have not seen recent declines in their production area.
