In 2013, the island country Niue produced 3,200 tonnes of coconuts valued at INT$385,830. Coconut is a cash crop on the island, which is converted to derivatives such as copra and coconut cream in tinned form, and also exported.[1] Originally, the island had a profusion of coconut trees reflected in the country's name, Niue, in the local language.[2] The Niue Development Board is responsible for planning and execution of schemes of agricultural produce, including coconut and related products.[3]
