  • How do you make copra from coconuts?
  • 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. 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.
  • Where does copra come from?
  • Copra is mainly imported by countries with large oil mills like the Netherlands, France and Germany. The USA, on the other hand, imports mainly coconut oil, since it is not interested in accumulating more press residues that can be used as forage in addition to its own oleiferous fruit such as soy, peanut and cotton.
