Report context

Thailand Coconut & Coir Industry Market Intelligence

Thailand harvests ~700K tonnes of coconut per year concentrated in Surat Thani (~40% national output), Prachuap Khiri Khan, Chumphon, and Nakhon Si Thammarat. The processing cluster spans coconut milk and cream (Thai Coconut SET: COCOCO post-2023 IPO, Theppadungporn under Tipco, UCC, Ampol Food's Chaokoh-Aroy-D), coconut water RTD (Malee, Theppadungporn TIPCO), virgin and RBD coconut oil, activated charcoal from shells (Carbokarn group exports to filtration, gas mask, and water-treatment markets globally), desiccated coconut and coconut sugar, and coir fibre/coco-peat substrate for hydroponics export to EU, Japan, and Korea. Structural variables: 2024 drought stress (~12% drop in raw-nut output), PETA monkey-labor controversy gating EU and US retailer access, raw-nut import dependency on Indonesia and Vietnam, and Fair Labour certification rollout via the Thai Coconut Industry Association.
