Coconut and Bagan Datuk are inseparable. A visit to this district is said to be incomplete without tasting its famously sweet young coconut water — a natural product many claim is unlike anywhere else in the country.
For hundreds of years, coconut has been the community’s primary commodity crop. Bagan Datuk once earned a place on the world map as one of the most important coconut-producing regions from the late 19th to the mid-20th century. Built on the rich alluvial soils at the mouth of the Perak River and blessed with a humid tropical climate, the region is naturally suited for growing Cocos nucifera, the coconut palm.
These natural conditions produce coconuts with thicker flesh and richer, creamier coconut milk. Today, coconut remains Perak’s second most important agricultural commodity after rice.
