Copra meal is produced in the extraction of oil from coconuts. The coconut is manually harvested, the outer husk removed, and the white copra cut from within the shell. The copra is dried by direct or indirect drying. When the copra is dry, the oil is mechanical or solvent (hexane) extracted to yeild 30% copra meal. The residual meal is called copra cake or copra meal. High quality copra meal contains approx 20% protein, 8-10% oil.
Copra meal as an animal feed.
Stance pioneered the development of assured quality copra meal as a high quality feed for horses and cattle. Only high qulaity, mechanically expelled copra meal is used for animal feeds.

Palm kernel shell (PKS) is actually the by-product from palm oil industry, before the era for palm kernel shell being used as biomass, the oil palm owner will bury the palm kernel shell underneath the land and let it becomes black color palm kernel compost. This is sort of organic fertilizer but because of the hard shell, it takes much longer time for converting totally to organic fertilizer. It is well known biomass product because of it small in size and high in heat energy or calorific value. Palm kernel is kernel from oil palm fruit. After the oil palm fruit gone through the palm oil process, the kernel will be separated and kernel oil will further be distilled and it also gained it status as a bio fuel resource for biomass product. It also classified as a renewable energy that complies with country energy regulation, such as Japan, Korea and Europe. Palm kernel shell also consider as the replacement for wood chip.
