Where coconut sits in this programme
Coconut palms grow along the East African coast and bear through the year rather than in a defined season, so availability is not governed by a harvest window in the way cashew is. What governs it instead is competing demand: fresh nuts have a substantial local market, and material available for export is what is left after that demand is met.
The practical consequence is that a coconut programme is negotiated against local market conditions rather than against a crop calendar, and volumes are more variable than a seasonal crop would be.
Where a buyer needs dried coconut kernel as an oil or industrial feedstock rather than as a food product, the relevant line is copra rather than coconut.
