Coconut Sector Development Strategy, 2020

The Coconut Sector Development Strategy 2020 provides a national roadmap to revitalize and diversify Kiribati’s coconut industry. Anchored in the KV20 and the Kiribati Development Plan, the strategy sets out four key objectives: improving sector coordination, strengthening the coconut resource base, expanding value-added production, and enhancing value chain efficiency. It emphasizes inclusive growth, climate resilience, and sustainable resource use, while promoting investment in processing, branding, and market development. The strategy also outlines mechanisms for public-private partnerships, access to finance, and capacity building, particularly for women, youth, and cooperatives.
