African Journals OnlineDevelopment of Integrated Coconut Oil Processing Machine
Coconut oil extraction involves several stages and each of these stages require different machine, therefore, the objective of this research work is to develop a low-cost
The processing process involves drying the received copra from 40% moisture to around 5%, after which it is pressed to attain the oil. This crude oil is then further refined to remove impurities. SOILL produces a range of
Biofuel developments in Mozambique. Update and analysis
Sep 1, 2010As the prices of coconut oil went up significantly, the opportunity cost of using the oil for biodiesel rather than sale on the international market was too high. The most prominent
processing and storage facilities, where there is (skilled) labor available, and access to services and investments in agricultural research and development, offer farmers a new source of income

CABI Digital LibraryGlobal Coconut Trade, Economy and the Value Chain
Coconut is an important crop grown in over 90 countries with the majority on smallholder lands. Demand for its products increases every year; however, the coconut industry
This study examined the labour dynamics, opportunities, challenges, and sustainability of virgin coconut oil (VCO) processing businesses in the wake of coconut exports
- Why is new product development of coconut agro-industry so urgent?
- The new product development of coconut agro-industry is very urgent because of the low innovation i n launching new products. New products that are m ore ef fective and competitive coconut agro-industry in t he future. B ased on this, this study aims t o claim t he an initial approac h to construct new products as a case study.
- What is the global demand for coconut oil?
- The global demand for major coconut products amounted to approximately US$4,7 billion in 2020, imported by the U.S. (19%), China (15%), the Netherlands (10,1%), Germany (9,9%), and Malaysia (9,4%) (UNComtrade, 2020). Demand for crude coconut oil is primarily driven by the refining industry, the Netherlands accounting for a third of global demand.
- Does multi-cropping affect coconut productivity?
- Lastly, we analyze how the practice of multi-cropping – producing coconut as well as other products on the same plot – affects coconut productivity. To this aim, we use a dummy (i.e., multi-crop) that is equal to 1 in case of multi-cropping and 0 otherwise (i.e., only coconut).
- What is happening in the coconut oil industry in Trinidad?
- The rise of the production network, coordinated by the oil processor in Trinidad, has occurred with the simultaneous functional downgrading in the coconut oil industries of St. Lucia, Jamaica, and Guyana (Abdulsamad, 2016).
- What is a research framework for coconut-based agroindustry?
- Based on these research gaps, a research framework is produced, enabling to construct the intelligent decision support system for the development and downstream of coconut-based agroindustry by integrating aspects of potential area mapping models, product development, and institutions Research framework.
- How does the support from institutions affect coconut productivity?
- Most importantly to our aims, the support from institutions, mainly from international organizations (and Coconut industry board, but only in Jamaica) positively affects farm-level productivity. In addition, community-level variables also significantly influence coconut productivity.
