Conteúdo: 	The coconut breeding work done in Indonesia from 1973 to 1983 under the auspices of the UNDP/FAO Coconut Development Project is outlined. In 1972, the Government was anxious to have improved coconut varieties nad seed in large quantities within a short period, for the coconut development programe which had already commenced. Hence a bold and imaginative programme, based on the long experience of the senior author, was initiated to produce improved varieties and seed within 10 years as against the usual 20 years. Four varieties/cultivars suitable for use in the breeding programme were identified from the germplasm survey carried out in 11 provinces in Indonesia. They were: Nias Yellow Dwarf (NYD), Tenga Tall (TT), Palu Tall (PT) and Bali Tall (BT). NYD was  crossed with the three Tall forms to study the perfomance of the first generation progenies. Simultaneously, seed gardens were established using NYD as the female parente and the three Tall forms as the male. They were capable of producing NYD x TT, NYD x BT and NTD x PT seed. The seed gardens were developed according to a vew concept. By 1982, the F1 palms of NYD x TT, NYD x BT and NYD x PT proved their superiority to the ordinary Tall with respect to precocity for bearing and high production of copra. In 1983 over 2 million seednuts of the improved varieties were available.
