Coconut is an essential commodity and widely available in Indonesia, a tropical country with optimal growing conditions due to its abundant sunshine and rainfall. However, coconut production has been declining in recent years, largely because most plantations are managed by smallholders who face numerous challenges, including pest infestations. To overcome these issues, while simultaneously increasing the productivity and market value of coconut products, organic farming presents a viable solution. Organic farming methods, such as using pest traps, natural enemies, and entomopathogens, offer an eco-friendly alternative by avoiding synthetic chemicals that contribute to environmental pollution. This approach not only promotes healthier and safer products but also adds value to coconut products. With premium market potential, organic farming can provide economic advantages to coconut farmers and entrepreneurs, promoting a more sustainable and economically viable industry.
