In the context of coconut-based agroforestry systems, intercropping means practicing crop diversification, growing a wider selection of different crops at the same time in the same field. This practice can create a more diverse, resilient, and sustainable farming system. There are about sixteen potential intercrop for coconut, including annual crops (ginger, ground nut and sorghum), semi perennial crops (banana, betel, papaw and pineapples) and perennial crops (cinnamon, cocoa, dragon fruit, mango, guava, pepper, cashew, rambutan and durian) (Samarakoon et al., 2023).
