Coconut is a large hairy, brown nut that grows on the coconut tree, found throughout the world's tropical islands and countries. Inside the nut is white flesh which is used in both sweet and savory dishes. The creamy milk commonly used in curry sauces and rice dishes comes from coconut milk and cream squeezed from the flesh. The coconut industry is one of the important economic sectors in many tropical countries. As a tropical crop, coconut thrives well in hot climates. The vigorous growth of the palm is best at 24–29°C.

The transportation of coconuts requires particular temperature, humidity, and ventilation conditions. Its favorable travel temperature range is 0~2°C. In order to ensure ideal transport conditions, coconuts should be treated as refrigerated cargo. If appropriately equipped means of transport are available, they may also be transported conventionally, provided that a cool (5~ 25°C) and well-ventilated hold is used. The ideal relative humidity for coconut is 80%~90%. Coconuts should not be exposed to direct solar radiation, as they would otherwise burst, leak, and consequently arrive at the port of destination without coconut milk. Remember, do not stow coconuts near heat sources.
