For more than four years, Prachuap Khiri Khan, the country's most important area for coconut cultivation, has been hit by drought. The province now has only about 400,000 rai (64,000 hectares) of productive plantation area out of a potential 2.5 million rai.
In addition to the land, drought has directly affected the trees and fruits themselves, making them vulnerable to insects that damage the quality of the product. In the worst case, coconut palms in Thap Sakae district have died, their green fronds turning brown. Production dropped drastically to about 10 per cent of normal. from 1,000 to 100 fruits for 10 rais plantation.
"It is a big crisis for coconut growers and domestic supply," said a coconut farmer living in the district.
The farmers said coconuts could grow anywhere in the country with normal rainfall. However, the province has faced such severe drought that even irrigation systems have had insufficient water for the past four years.
The result is a shortage of coconuts, prompting prices to skyrocket to Bt2030 per fruit. This also directly affects coconut milk, whose price has also jumped in line with the raw material. Kriangsak Theppadungporn, managing director of Ampol Food Processing, said the supply of coconuts for its plant producing coconut milk had dropped sharply from 150 tonnes to 6070 tonnes per day.
"Our production cannot serve market demand right now," Kriangsak said.
Moreover, the company has shouldered losses since last year as it cannot adjust retail prices. Its rawcoconut cost has increased from Bt78 to Bt20 per fruit.
To ensure production, Ampol has to import coconuts from Indonesia.
The company has joined hands with government agencies to combat the spread of coconut pests with biopesticides.
