The research results show that several factors have led to the decrease in coconut production in Indonesia, including climate change, pest and disease attacks, lack of coconut land maintenance, and the low adoption of modern technology in coconut cultivation. The impact of the declining coconut production on the coconut farmers' economy is significant. Farmers face a drastic decline in income due to the decrease in coconut production, which negatively affects their standard of living and well-being. Additionally, the coconut processing industry and coconut trade are also affected due to limited coconut supply.
