Thai Coconut Industry Unites to End Monkey Labour 

Published on 27/03/2025

» Thai Coconut Industry Group, in collaboration with Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand (WFFT), has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to improve the welfare of monkeys potentially used in Thailand's coconut industry. This landmark agreement marks the first formal commitment to address this complex issue. The initiative begins with a joint project to care for monkeys currently or formerly used in agriculture and industry. The groups will then work to expand cooperation with relevant government agencies to advocate for legislation prohibiting the use of monkeys for coconut harvesting, coupled with rigorous enforcement. The agreement also promotes the adoption of modern harvesting techniques and the cultivation of dwarf coconut varieties. The core objective is to create lasting positive change within the industry and improve the perception of the Thai coconut industry on the global stage.
