  • What products does copra produce?
  • Its products include crude coconut oil, copra pellets, cochin (refined bleached oil, RB) and refined bleached and deodorized (RBD) coconut oil. The plant is equipped with a pier that can accommodate vessels up to 65,000 deadweight tons for loading finished products and unloading copra feedstock.
  • How is copra processed?
  • Harvesting: The first step in copra processing is the harvesting of mature coconuts. Coconuts are ready for harvest when they are fully ripe and have turned brown. The process involves climbing the coconut tree and cutting the fruit from the tree. This can be done manually or with the use of equipment such as a long pole with a blade or a ladder.
  • How is copra price related to market level?
  • The primary data were collected through a survey of coconut farmers, dealers, and millers. The market level copra price relationships was tested using farm gate price, dealer price, and miller price within each region for the same period. Time series data for copra following the old classification (copra resecada and copra corriente) was used.
  • How is copra pressed?
  • After grinding, cracking, and flaking, copra can be pressed like other oilseeds to extract the valuable oil. Copra drying process. Traditionally, processors feed flaked copra into stacked cooking and drying vessels, which reduce the moisture levels down to about 3 or 4% by weight.
