Abstract: ABSTARCT: This study explores the export potential and performance of coconut and its by-products, with a focus on global demand, trade dynamics, and value addition processes. Coconut, often referred to asthe "tree of life," offers a wide range of by-products such as coconut oil, desiccated coconut, coir, copra, activated carbon, and coconut water, all of which have seen rising demand in international markets. The research analyzes historical export data, major importing countries, key players in the global market, and government policies that influence trade. Challenges such as price volatility, supply chain inefficiencies, and competition from synthetic alternatives are also examined. The study concludes by suggesting strategies to enhance export competitiveness, including technology adoption, value-added product innovation, and stronger market linkages. This research aims to provide insights for stakeholders to harness the full potential of coconut exports and contribute to sustainable agricultural andeconomicdevelopment
