On September 2, World Coconut Day is celebrated to honour the establishment of the Asian Pacific Coconut Community (APCC). The APCC has its headquarters in Jakarta, Indonesia, and all of the major countries that grow coconuts, including India, are members. On September 2, people all throughout the world recognise coconuts as one of nature's healthiest foods and promote their applications and significance.
Coconuts are a fleshy fruit that have been growing in tropical areas and are a member of the drupe family. Coconuts are a great source of electrolytes and lauric acid, and they also have a lot of antioxidants, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties. More than 80 nations throughout the world make them. Indonesia presently produces more coconuts than any other country, with India coming in third.
The purpose of this holiday is to highlight coconuts and highlight their value and advantages, both economically and in terms of health. By the APCC, Asian and Pacific Coconut Community, which supports the majority of the coconut production centres, coconuts are notably celebrated in Asian and Pacific regions.
The cute moniker for the coconut has a unique history. There are three indentations in a coconut's surface that resemble a human face, as seen in many cartoons and children's illustrations. According to ancient Iberian mythology, when Portuguese and Spanish explorers encountered these indentations, it made them think of the bogeyman or another scary creature. The term "coconut" originated from the mythical figure of the same name from tales of their home nations.
Thanks to Arab seafarers, the coconut travelled from India to the coast of East Africa. Austronesian seafarers from Southeast Asia travelled from that region to the west of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean and from that region to the east of the Pacific.
Since then, coconuts have been a powerhouse, offering us a huge variety of goods and advantages. Numerous cooking recipes call for the coconut's delicate white flesh, while water, milk, and oil can all be used for both cooking and non-cooking reasons. The husks and leaves of coconuts are used to make doormats, roofs, and huts, and coconut butter, cream, and oil are common by-products found in beauty products.
On World Coconut Day, the Coconut Development Board (CDB) in India hosts a number of events across the nation. National prizes will be given out at the event to people who have excelled in coconut farming, industry, and other relevant fields. In 2019, Assam hosted the national coconut day celebration. The board recognised Assam as the following main coconut-producing state in India during the ceremony. Assam alone cultivates 20,368 hectares of the 33,493 total hectares of coconuts grown in the seven North East states.
