World Coconut Day 2024 Observed on September 2

World Coconut Day was established in 2009 by the Asian and Pacific Coconut Community (APCC), an intergovernmental organization under the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific. The APCC, representing 19 coconut-producing countries in the Asia-Pacific region, chose September 2 to commemorate the organization’s founding in 1969.
