Goa's climate is tropical, hot all year round, with a long and sunny season, which runs roughly from mid-October to mid-May, and a rainy season due to the south-west monsoon, more or less from late May to early or mid-October, and characterized by stuffy weather, cloud cover and frequent rains, which occur almost daily .

The coconut seed is especially well adapted to increasing its range by the method of ocean dispersal. The seed floats when its outer layers dry out. The buoyant coconuts drift on ocean currents and end up on tropical beaches where they germinate and take root.

Coconut tree grows only in the tropical climate. This plant live on the sandy soil, requires a lot of sunlight and regular rainfalls. Coconut tree does not tolerate low temperatures and low percent of humidity.

so goa is one place which is suitable for growing coconut.

Hope you've understood ☺️
