CoconutCoast
A proposed 24-month first phase in Bagerhat combining new planting, care for existing trees, harvesting services and buyer access.
Request the first-phase briefExisting trees cannot wait for them to mature.
Bagerhat leads recorded coconut production
Bagerhat ranks first with 22,556 tonnes, yet represents only 5.7% of recorded district coconut production. The top five districts together account for 25.8%.
Evidence boundary. BBS records 22,556 t across 386.8 ha for 2024–25. DAE figures reported in July 2026 cite 33,601 t across 3,678 ha. Source, year and definitions differ; neither series is the project baseline.
First-upazila tree stock, participant demand, buyer terms and project performance still require field measurement.
Trees need care, tools and a buyer
The next tree has to start well
Planting material, site fit and early care.
The programme cannot establish a repeatable replacement pathway for ageing or damaged trees.
Saplings, tree services and buyer routes
Proposed targets: 10,000 new saplings, 125 climbing operators, 5,000 farmers trained and 130 rural micro-entrepreneurs. The proposal also lists 5 de-huskers; their equipment or service scope will be confirmed in the delivery plan.
Four checks before work begins
Confirm the first two upazilas, participant register, existing tree stock and new-planting allocation.
Test demand, pricing, utilisation, maintenance and operator viability for climbing and de-husking.
Confirm fresh, mature and processing demand through written buyer requirements and repeat transactions.
Complete activity costing, procurement, safety, participant safeguards and measurement ownership.
Allocation
Where the money goes
Indicative funding allocation. Final sites and costs follow due diligence.
Planting + cultivation
Tools + buyer route
Skills + training
Operator safety
Old trees cannot wait for saplings
The proposed 24-month first phase still needs confirmed sites, delivery costs and operating responsibilities.
