Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2023, the total volume of the coconut market in Oman reached a peak of 12.8 thousand t in 2019 before declining to 7.9 thousand t in 2023. This reduction was driven by a steep fall in imports, which dropped from 6.6 thousand t to 1.2 thousand t, while domestic production held steady at approximately 6.7 thousand t each year.

In 2024, imports surged to 7.1 thousand t, pointing to a likely expansion of market volume. The suitable climate for coconut cultivation in the Dhofar Governorate has consistently supported local output. At the same time, global factors such as increased worldwide demand for coconut oil and milk, alongside supply constraints from adverse weather in major producing nations, have shaped international trade flows and pricing, impacting Oman's import patterns.
