    Coconut farmers in Kilifi have started harvesting from the first hybrid coconut trees imported from India and planted in 2019. The hybrid coconut trees take a maximum of 3 years to mature and can produce more than 300 coconut fruits compared to the African tall which takes up to 6 years to mature while producing only about 100 fruits.
