World Coconut Day 2022: Theme
The World Coconut Day theme for the year 2022 is "Growing Coconut for a Better Future and Life".
World Coconut Day: History And Significance
The main aim behind celebrating this day is to create awareness across the world about the importance of coconut and the health benefits attached to this tropical fruit. The day is especially marked in countries under Asian and Pacific regions by the Asian and Pacific Coconut Community (APCC) as they have most of the world's coconut growing production centres.
It was in 2009 when world coconut day was celebrated for the first time. APCC, which is headquartered in Jakarta Indonesia, operates under the flagship authority of the UN-ESCAP (United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific). The purpose to mark this day is to highlight the policies and express the plan of action.
India is one of the topmost countries in the global list of nations with coconut productivity. With the support of the Coconut Development Board (CDB), this day is celebrated across the states such as Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Goa, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, etc.
Awareness campaigns and technical sessions are organised by experts to increase the production of the coconut and awareness regarding the usage. Farmers and businessmen attend the event with great enthusiasm and exchange ideas and concerns about coconut productions.
World Coconut Day: Coconut Benefits
Apart from production and diversity, the day also attempts to signify the important role coconut can play in the alleviation of poverty by promoting the coconut industry. World Coconut Day 2021 marks the 23rd year of the celebration.
