The article examines the future of coconut plantations worldwide, and more specifically in Africa. It does so by retracing planting dynamics over a long period (1960-1999), attempting to explain the main trends, describing the main conditions under which coconut planting or rehabilitation are feasible, and proposing a methodological approach designed to identify appropriate action plans for the problems encountered. Whilst the sluggishness of coconut planting and the declining share of copra in world trade are mentioned, the article also draws attention to the different functions fulfilled by coconut plantings in medium and small-scale production structures. In this context, targeted replanting or rehabilitation programmes can have a highly positive impact on the well-being of the populations involved, especially when they form part of a production diversification initiative, with integration of derived or alternative activities
