Earlier Report Observations
The desiccated coconut market in Kiribati experienced a contraction in 2020, with production falling to 2,600 t from the previous stable level of 2,800 t. This decline was linked to a government policy implemented in 2018 that increased the price of copra, the raw material for coconut products. The measure, aimed at supporting local producers, raised input costs for processors, thereby reducing output. The authorities monitored the policy's impact through national household surveys, confirming its ongoing effect on the coconut derivatives sector.
Production remained at 2,600 t in 2021, with a minor import of 5 t bringing the total market volume to 2,605 t. A recovery followed in 2022, with output returning to 2,800 t and holding steady through 2023. This rebound indicated the market's adjustment to the established copra pricing framework, as no further major regulatory changes or significant new market entrants were reported in this later period.
