Earlier Report Observations

The Americas market for coconut, palm kernel or babassu oil expanded consistently from 704.5 thousand tons in 2018 to a peak of 824.1 thousand tons in 2021. This growth phase was supported by incremental increases in domestic production and rising import volumes, which together boosted total available supply.

After 2021, the market entered a contraction phase, with volume dropping to 709.1 thousand tons in 2022 and settling at 702.8 thousand tons in 2023. The decline was primarily due to a fall in production, which decreased from 675.9 thousand tons in 2021 to 596.7 thousand tons in 2023, while imports also retreated from their 2021 high.

Throughout the period, export levels remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 194.5 and 233.5 thousand tons without significantly altering the net market size. The overall trajectory shows a market that grew robustly for three years before facing supply-side constraints in the latter part of the period.
