Earlier Report Observations

Coconut production in New Caledonia remained consistently at 18 000 tonnes annually from 2018 to 2023, supported by an established industry structure centered on Ouvéa Island. The state-influenced Société agricole des producteurs d’Ouvéa (SAPO) managed copra processing for oil, ensuring steady output and market stability.

Efforts to diversify the sector beyond copra and enhance long-term sustainability included work on valuing other coconut products. In 2022, a research mission under the PROTEGE project documented 22 coconut palm varieties, highlighting investment in genetic diversification and sector resilience.

The total coconut market volume showed minimal variation, ranging from 18 002 to 18 015 tonnes over the period, with a slight increase in 2022 before returning to near the initial level in 2023, reflecting the overall stability of domestic supply.
