World Coconut Day is celebrated every year on 2 September to create awareness among people about the countless benefits of coconuts across the globe.

• The day is dedicated to promoting sustainable coconut farming and its significant benefits.
• World Coconut Day also commemorates the formation of Asian Pacific Coconut Community (APCC) -- an organisation that was established to improve the socio-economic welfare of farmers and other industry stakeholders in a vibrant coconut sector.
• The theme for World Coconut Day 2023 is 'Coconuts: Transforming Lives'.
