Copra

HS v2017 Code: 1203

About copra

HS code 1203 covers copra, the dried meat or kernel of the coconut. Copra is a globally important agricultural commodity, with widespread use in the production of coconut oil, animal feed, and various other products. As a key input for the edible oils and fats industry, copra plays a crucial role in the broader agricultural and food processing sectors.

Production process

Copra is produced by harvesting mature coconuts, splitting them open, and then drying the coconut meat or kernel. This drying process can be done naturally by sun-drying or artificially through the use of kilns or other drying equipment. The dried copra is then processed further to extract the valuable coconut oil.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the copra industry are mature coconuts, which are harvested from coconut palm trees. Machinery and equipment such as coconut huskers, driers, and oil extraction systems are also essential inputs for the efficient production and processing of copra. Additionally, labor, energy, and transportation infrastructure are important resources required for the industry.

Production outputs

The main output of the copra industry is dried copra, which is then used as a raw material for the production of 1511 Coconut Oil and other coconut-based products. Copra is also used as an ingredient in animal feed, and its byproducts can be used for various other applications, such as in the production of soaps, cosmetics, and biofuels.
