About nuts, edible; coconuts, desiccated

HS code 080111 covers the trade of desiccated coconuts, a versatile and widely-used agricultural product. Coconuts are a staple crop in many tropical regions, and the desiccated form is an important ingredient in a variety of food and non-food products. This industry plays a significant role in the global economy, supporting the livelihoods of millions of farmers and contributing to the supply chains of numerous industries.

Production process

The production of desiccated coconuts involves several key steps. First, mature coconuts are harvested and the outer husk is removed. The inner white flesh, or 'meat', is then extracted and dried using specialized equipment to remove the majority of the moisture content. This drying process can be done through sun-drying, oven-drying, or other dehydration methods. The dried coconut meat is then shredded or flaked to produce the final desiccated coconut product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the desiccated coconut industry include mature coconuts as the primary raw material. Specialized machinery such as coconut huskers, meat extractors, and drying equipment are also essential. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce to harvest, process, and package the final product. Energy sources, such as electricity or fuel for drying, are another key input.

Production outputs

Desiccated coconut, produced under HS code 080111, is a versatile ingredient used in a wide range of food and non-food products. It is commonly used in baked goods, confectionery, and various dairy products. The output of this industry may also be further processed into other coconut-derived products, such as 080119 Nuts, edible; coconuts, fresh or dried, whether or not shelled or peeled, 151311 (Coconut (copra) oil and its fractions, whether or not refined, but not chemically modified), or 230650 Oilcake and other solid residues, whether or not ground or in the form of pellets, resulting from the extraction of coconut or copra oil.
