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 a key ingredient in a variety of food, cosmetic, and industrial products. As a globally traded commodity, the desiccated coconut industry plays an important role in the international economy, supporting the livelihoods of farmers and businesses across the supply chain.

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 primary inputs required for the desiccated coconut industry are mature coconuts, which serve as the 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 handle the harvesting, processing, and packaging of the final product.

Production outputs

Desiccated coconut, the main output of 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 dairy products, as well as in cosmetics and personal care items. The desiccated coconut industry also produces byproducts such as coconut oil and coconut flour, which are further processed and used in 150890 Other fixed vegetable fats and oils and 230650 Oilcake and other solid residues, of coconut or copra.
