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).
