Description
Copra is the dried kernel of the coconut, extracted from the coconut palm’s meaty inner part. Widely cultivated in tropical regions, copra serves as a versatile agricultural product with various applications. After harvesting mature coconuts, the outer husk is removed, and the white, fleshy meat undergoes a drying process, either through sun-drying or mechanical means, resulting in copra. This dried coconut kernel is a key ingredient in the production of coconut oil, a staple in cooking, skincare, and industrial uses. The extraction process involves pressing the copra to extract the oil, leaving behind the copra meal, often utilized as livestock feed. Copra’s significance in global trade and its economic importance in coconut-producing regions underscore its role as a valuable agricultural commodity with widespread applications.
