Coconut can be a good source of fats to be used as a biodiesel feedstock, while the rest of its pulp is still edible, so it could be used more effectively to overcome the competition between biofuels and food production for arable land and water resources. It's also possible to extract sugar from coconut palms, like it's done in Indonesia.
