WebYield varies from region to region (3 500 to 6 000 nuts/ha/year), which is due to a number of factors. The supply chains of coconut in the country are multi-layered and complex, from the point of production to its domestic and international markets. However, similar increase has not been observed for coconut oil production. Also, the harvesting frequency depends on the palms yield. It increases production and returns per unit area; it is efficient land use and resources like light, water, and fertilizers, efficient pesticide application.

Drought in Coconut gardens can be managed by adopting soil moisture conservation practices such as the burial of husk, application or composted coir pith, and FYM or farm waste in the Coconut basin by taking 20 to 30 cm trench in the basin area of 1.8 meters radius. Regular irrigation also helps to increase the fruit set and improve size. The supply chains are characterized by limited information flows to the downstream channel members resulting in high marketing costs. Copra meals obtained by other methods contain residual oil within this range.
