Which is the world's largest producer of coconut excluding India?

Answer 1

The Philippines is the world's number one supplier of coconut products. No wonder, because the country is a top producer of what it calls "The Tree of Life". Some fast facts: Of the 12 million hectares of farmlands, 3.1 million hectares are devoted to coconut; 68 out of 79 provinces are coconut areas; there are over 324 million bearing and non-bearing trees and 3.5 million coconut farmers; 25 million Filipinos or a third of the country's population, are directly or indirectly dependent on the industry; the country accounts for a 59 percent share in world coconut exports, or roughly $760 million in foreign exchange earnings. And the moniker Tree of Life? Well, almost every part of the tree, from its meat, oil, leaves, fruit, water, husk, pith, shell to its trunks and roots, can be used for food, shelter, fuel. Well the India is the third and Sirilanka is the fourth largest producer of the coconut. I hope you will satisfy from these evidence.
