Cocoa and palm karnel are cash crops that account for about 95 percent of tree crops in Ondo
State with varying degree of annual production pattern. The paper examined the variation in
annual production of both crops over twelve(12) years of consideration. Available data were
subjected to descriptive and correlation analyses. Results indicated that both crops account for
95 percent of tree crops production in the State. The average increase rate of the examined
crops were 6.44 and 5.9 percents. Correlation coefficient were higher between rainfall and
palm karnel than cocoa. Hybrid palm fruit need to be developed using climatic variables
especially those that directly influence palm fruit yield through government agencies, and
institutions with the support of agro-based companies to avoid further low production and
importation in future.
