The Present disclosure discloses a device for cutting a coconut, the device comprising a support structure; a coconut clasper mounted on the support structure and having a pair of opposed jaws adapted for clasping opposed ends of a coconut, each jaw being rotatable about an axis to permit rotation of a coconut clasped in the jaws; and a cutter mounted on the support structure and positioned for cutting a coconut clasped in the jaws, wherein the device includes a coconut centring mechanism to cause simultaneous movement of the jaws to align the mid-point of a coconut clasped in the jaws with the position of the cutter, such that, in use, the cutter acts at approximately the mid-point of the coconut.
