Abstract In this paper study the trend and growth of coconut production in Tamil Nadu during the period from 2010-11 to 2019-20. Indonesia is the highest coconut producing country in the world. India accounts for 22.34 per cent of the world's coconut production and is one of the major players in the world's coconut trade. The Karnataka is the highest coconut production 30.83 share of percentage in India level. Coimbatore got the first rank in coconut production in Tamil Nadu level. Status of Tamil Nadu, it is understood that year on year increase of 0.70 per cent when measured in terms of compound rate of 2,966.30 area in hectare in terms of absolute values on the average in area was significant for coconut. But from the coefficient of variation values, it is apparent that the trend and growth in productivity (CV = 16.05) and production (CV = 14.44) is highly inconsistent compared to that of area (CV = 2.21) in coconut. As increase in area was not proportionate to an increase in production, there had been a notable decline (CAGR = -3.13, t = -2.57, p = < 0.01) and productivity (CAGR = -3.81, t = -3.09, p = < 0.05) during the study period.
