This year’s event will take place from the 20th to the 23rd of September at the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC).

In 2019, GEPA in partnership with ACG organized the maiden edition of International Coconut Festival in Ghana.

The first edition brought together exhibitors as well as major players in the coconut crop development sector to promote the coconut business.

The government of Ghana added coconut to the National Tree Crop Development Authority (NTCDA), which was established in 2019 and mandated to develop and regulate the production, processing, marketing and export of coconut and other selected tree crops.

According to data from the Food and Agriculture Organization Corporate Statistical Database for the year 2017, Ghana ranked 14th on the list of the world top coconut producers with 383,960 metric tones produced in 2017 alone.

The country’s export of desiccated coconut alone amounted to 21.9 million dollars in 2021 from 6.3 million dollars in 2020 and 3.8 million dollars in 2019, making Ghana 9th in global export of desiccated coconut.
