How is copra oil made?

Copra oil is pressed from dried coconut meat. Harvesting coconuts for copra is a labor-intensive process. Farmers and plantation workers manually remove the fibrous outer husk, then split open the coconut shell to drain the liquid.

Can coconut meat be processed into copra oil?

While it¡¯s possible to process these raw kernels into virgin coconut oil, the meat is often dried to obtain copra, which is then processed into copra oil. Fresh coconut meat contains about 50% moisture and 34% oil by weight, so it must be dried before processing.

What is copra used for?

Copra, after extraction of oil, leaves a residue which is palatable oil cake (or copra meal or mash). It is used in animal feeds, mainly for ruminants. It is used as fodder for horses, cattle, sheep and deer. Its high protein content (and oil content) is fattening for stock.

What is a copra drying program?

The program involved a review of the supply chain from coconut handling through the cutting, drying, pressing and filtering of extracted oil. Of particular focus was the copra drying process which is commonly the source of discolouration in the oil and the stale or off flavours in the final product.
