The Philippines, Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Malaysia, and Papua New Guinea together account for about 80% of the total area planted to coconuts worldwide.
And for more information about coconuts:
A coconut is the edible fruit of the coconut palm (Cocos nucifera), a tree of the palm family. Coconut flesh is high in fat and can be dried or eaten fresh or processed into coconut milk or coconut oil. The liquid of the nut, known as coconut water, is used in beverages.
A single coconut palm may yield 100 coconuts annually, and each coconut requires a year to fully ripen.
Mature coconuts are ovoid or ellipsoid in shape, 30–45 cm (12–18 inches) in length and 15–20 cm (6–8 inches) in diameter. They have a thick fibrous husk surrounding the single-seeded nut. A hard shell encloses the embryo with its abundant endosperm, composed of both meat and liquid.
