Thailand coconut milk and cream export value (2020-2024)
~USD 420M (2024)
Coconut milk and coconut cream remain Thailand's largest coconut-derived export category at approximately USD 420 million in 2024, up from roughly USD 310 million in 2020 per Thai Customs trade statistics. Chaokoh (Thai Coconut), Aroy-D (Theppadungporn Coconut), Suree, and Real Thai are the principal export brands. The United States, EU, Japan, and Australia anchor demand, with Thai canned coconut milk holding a dominant share of Asian-cuisine retail channels in those markets. The 2020-2022 PETA monkey-labour campaign caused a temporary UK/EU retail boycott but volumes have largely recovered as audited supply-chain certification rolled out.
