Countries of origin for coconuts
So that the coconut tree well grows and delivers optimum fruits, it needs high tem-peratures more than 20 degrees,
enough precipitation, loose ground rich in nutrient (sandy mucky ground). For it coasts and courses of a river of the
tropical regions are suited in Asia, Africa, South America and in many Pacific islands best of all. The op-timum in
precipitation for the fruit education lies with approx. 2000 mm per year.
