8. Market
Scenario
Europe is a large importing region for
desiccated coconut, accounting for a 30%
share of the world’s total imports, followed by
the United States of America (10%), Singapore
(8%) and the Russian Federation (4%).
European imports of desiccated coconut are
relatively stable. Since 2016, they have slightly
decreased in quantity (by 0.6% annually) and
in value (by 2% annually).
The European market for desiccated coconut
Three countries have a share of more than 50%
of total imports. The Netherlands was the
leading importer in Europe (27% import share)
in 2020, followed by Germany (17%), the United
Kingdom (13%), Poland (8%) and France (6%).
The Netherlands: the largest importer, consumer and re-exporter of desiccated coconut
he Netherlands is Europe’s largest and the world’s second-largest importer of desiccated coconut.
The country’s desiccated coconut imports of 32 thousand tonnes, worth almost €50 million,
account for 27% of European imports. Over the last five years, the Dutch average annual import
growth rate - in quantity - was 14%. Until 2019, Dutch imports of desiccated coconut showed
steady growth to the current level, but they remained relatively stable in 2020. This was due to
unstable supply influenced by the COVID-19 crisis.
