The Coconut Seedling Distribution Initiative, implemented in partnership with the Coconut Federation, Ghana is aimed at boosting Ghana’s coconut production by distributing 3 million high-yielding, disease-resistant seedlings to farmers across key coconut-growing regions. This initiative will support the cultivation of 18,750 hectares of new coconut plantations, with the goal of increasing national production by 120,000 metric tonnes. It is a targeted response to growing local and international demand for coconut and its by-products, and it aligns with efforts to diversify Ghana’s agricultural exports, improve rural livelihoods, and create sustainable jobs.

Beyond seedling distribution, the initiative includes technical support and capacity building to ensure farmers adopt best agronomic practices. Extension services will assist with proper farm establishment, maintenance, and harvesting.
