Bagerhat leads recorded coconut production
Bagerhat ranks first with 22,556 tonnes, yet represents only 5.7% of recorded district coconut production. The top five districts together account for 25.8%.
Evidence boundary. BBS records 22,556 t across 386.8 ha for 2024–25. DAE figures reported in July 2026 cite 33,601 t across 3,678 ha. Source, year and definitions differ; neither series is the project baseline.
First-upazila tree stock, participant demand, buyer terms and project performance still require field measurement.
One coconut environment
Trees need care, tools and a buyer
The next tree has to start well
What has to work
Planting material, site fit and early care.
What remains unproven
The programme cannot establish a repeatable replacement pathway for ageing or damaged trees.
First two-year phase
Saplings, tree services and buyer routes
Proposed targets: 10,000 new saplings, 125 climbing operators, 5,000 farmers trained and 130 rural micro-entrepreneurs. The proposal also lists 5 de-huskers; their equipment or service scope will be confirmed in the delivery plan.

Old trees cannot wait for saplings
The proposed 24-month first phase still needs confirmed sites, delivery costs and operating responsibilities.
