Copra is the dried meat, or kernel, of the coconut. Coconut oil is extracted from it and has made copra an important agricultural commodity for many coconut-producing countries.
It also yields coconut cake which is mainly used as feed for livestock.
Making copra – removing the shell, breaking up, drying – is usually done where the coconut palms grow. Copra can be made by smoke drying, sun drying, or kiln drying.

Copra We make high-quality copra by drying fresh coconut meat (kernel) in hybrid solar dryers. With efficient and continuous drying technology, we can reduce the moisture content of fresh coconut kernels from around 50% to lower than 6% within 48 hours. This result can be achieved by utilizing solar energy during daylight and renewable energy from smokeless biomass burning all night long. Moisture content: maximum 6%, Free Fatty Acid content: maximum 0.5%, Green: 0%, Burnt: maximum 2%, Smoky: maximum 5%, Rubbery: maximum 5% We only pick mature coconut fruits for the drying process, coconut must be put in a dryer immediately after opening to prevent microbes such as fungus, mold, and bacteria to grow. We keep the temperature in the oven dryer between 60 to 70 degrees Celsius. We inspect the copra periodically during the drying process, any damaged copra should be removed from the oven dryer immediately.
Typically split into two halves, copra is the dried meat of a mature coconut from which coconut oil is extracted for a wide range of applications. We carefully handpick fully mature coconuts at its finest to produce the best quality copra and carry out both sun and oven drying to keep the moisture content to a minimum. Our copra is available in edible, regular and mixed grades.
Two types of copra, namely the milling and the edible, are made in India. The milling copra is used to extract oil while the edible copra is consumed as a dry fruit. Edible copra is made in the forms of balls and cups. Copra contains the highest percentage of oil compared to other oil seeds. It contains 15-20 percent carbohydrates, 9 percent protein and 4.10 percent crude fi bre besides 65-68 percent fat. The carbohydrate fraction consists of a large percentage of cellulose and sucrose together with other sugars. Besides glucose and fructose the presence of galactose, raffi nose and pentoses is also reported.
Copra is coconut flesh that has gone through a drying process. Copra is usually used as a head derivative product which of course has a very important role as a raw material for making coconut oil and its derivatives. Copra can also be used as animal feed. There are 3 types of copra, including white copra or wet copra, smoked copra or dried copra, and sun-dried copra. High quality copra is made from coconuts that are 300 days old and weigh around 3-4 kg, resulting in copra with a water content of about 6-7 percent so that it is not susceptible to nuisance organisms
The Copra portion of a coconut is typically extracted from a dried coconut fruit. The dried coconut contains the white meat, or copra, which is in constant contact with the coconut water. Copra can be used to manufacture coconut oil, juice, or consumed in its raw form. They provide numerous health benefits due to their high nutrient content. To make copra, coconut nuts are broken open, water is drained out, and the kernel is left to dry by Sun drying. Regular copra is a type of copra that is generally white-brown in color and can be used to manufacture coconut oil, edible oil, or hair oil. Our reliable sources are mostly from Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi, Indonesia. The processing centers in those areas are identified as the highest production of coconuts. With a dedicated and professional team we sort high-quality white copra and will provide your business needs especially for white copra and commit to continue the product improvement through our processes.
