Abstract

Before 1939, Indonesia was the largest copra exporter in the world (FAO 1983). But since then until 1970 it was only the se­cond largest copra exporter after the Philippines (Heesch & Kuhl­mann 1982). Between 1970 and 1980 the exports of copra from Indonesia declined drastically from 184,000 tons in 1970 to only 36,000 tons in 1980, on average a decrease of about 37.6 per cent per annum for the period (Asnawi & Darwis 1984). Since 1983 Indonesia has had to stop exports of copra due to a deficit in na­tional coconut production relative to domestic needs. For example, in 1983 the total production of coconut in Indonesia was only about 2.4 million tons copra equivalent while the total consump­tion of coconut in the country in that year was about 2.48 million tons. Thus, there was a deficit in coconut production of about 80,000 tons copra equivalent in the country in that year (Asna­wi & Darwis 1984).
