Cultivating Excellence Across the Coconut Industry
As the definitive authority for the coconut category in the Americas, the Coconut Alliance serves as the singular, unified voice for a global industry built on integrity. From the soil to the shelf, we bridge the gap between science and commerce—rigorously verifying supply chain transparency, advocating for accurate regulatory standards, and championing the sustainable practices that nurture both our planet and our farming communities. Together, we are securing a resilient, high-quality future for all things coconut.
Supporting Every Link in the Value Chain
Coconut Alliance members include producers, importers, retailers and service providers in the coconut industry.
Fighting Against Misinformation
The Coconut Alliance stands as a unified front against the outdated myths surrounding coconut oil’s saturated fats. We don’t just talk—we act. By commissioning and promoting rigorous, peer-reviewed research, we ensure that mainstream media and health experts have the facts they need to see the true value of coconut.
Defining Global Quality Standards
Quality isn’t a suggestion; it’s a requirement. To protect the industry’s reputation, the Coconut Alliance pioneered a robust Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) verification program. This initiative builds consumer confidence by ensuring a pure, unadulterated, and fully compliant supply chain from soil to shelf.
Advancing Global Sustainability
Building on our comprehensive benchmarking survey aligned with the UN Sustainability Goals, the Coconut Alliance proactively collaborates across the entire supply chain. We are driving continuous improvement and transparent communication to ensure the coconut industry thrives for generations to come.
