  • What happened to copra production in Malaysia?
  • However, the industry began to decline when the shortfall of copra production became more acute after 1977. Copra milling has long been practiced in Malaysia. Using the hydraulic expeller, coconut oil can be extracted from copra, giving a minimum oil yield of 60%.
  • How is copra processed?
  • After pretreatment, the copra undergoes various stages of processing and purification. Hydraulic pressing produces cakes which are round in shape or form and are known as ‘Poonac’. Hydraulic pressed and expeller-pressed oil cakes contain a residual oil content of 8% minimum.
  • How much copra do Malaysians eat a year?
  • They consumed about 160,000 metric tones of copra each year and the coconut oil and copra cakes produced were mostly for local consumption. However, the industry began to decline when the shortfall of copra production became more acute after 1977. Copra milling has long been practiced in Malaysia.
  • How does a copra oil extraction process work?
  • Pretreatment work involves grinding, heat-treatment or cooking and conditioning (moisture control). To facilitate the subsequent process of oil extraction, the copra is initially passed through a series of grinders such as hammer mills or flakers to reduce the solid material into finer and more uniform mass.
