The coconut palm is present across more than 90 tropical countries, supporting the livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers and supplying a growing range of global industries.
Yet despite its importance, the coconut sector remains structurally underdeveloped.
Plantations are aging, productivity remains low, and supply chains are fragmented.
The CKC was established to help reframe how the sector is understood, particularly by global capital, and how it might evolve.
Why Act on Coconut Today
The numbers tell one story. The opportunity tells another. Sixty percent of palms are senile, but coconut is regenerable, multi-use, and smallholder-led. That combination rarely exists in agriculture. CKC exists to close the gap between what the sector is and what it could be.
