Copra
Sun-dried milling copra with controlled moisture
Copra is dried coconut kernel, the raw material for coconut oil and copra cake. We supply milling copra dried to a moisture level that holds oil yield and keeps free fatty acids in check through the voyage, sourced from the same Kerala growing belt our family has traded in for decades.

Copra — buyer questions
What moisture level is your copra dried to?
6% or below. Copra dried much above that risks mould and rising free fatty acids in transit, which is what most oil mills reject on arrival.
Can you supply aflatoxin-tested copra?
Yes — testing at an accredited laboratory can be arranged pre-shipment where your market requires it, with the certificate issued against the shipment. Tell us the limit your buyer or regulator works to.
What quantity of copra can I order?
Whatever suits you — there is no fixed minimum. We supply single bags and part loads to buyers within India, part-container (LCL) consignments, and full 20ft and 40ft containers for export. Tell us the quantity you need and we will quote it.
Do you supply within India as well as export?
Yes. Domestic orders are dispatched by road from Malappuram, Kerala, on a GST invoice, and export consignments load at Cochin port. The same grades are available either way.
Do you send samples before an order?
Yes. Samples are couriered on request, with courier freight at the buyer's account. Sample specifications are matched to the grade quoted so what you test is what you receive.
What are your payment terms?
Within India, bank transfer or UPI against a proforma invoice. For export, 30% advance by TT with the balance against a copy of the bill of lading, or an irrevocable LC at sight on larger consignments. Terms are agreed per order.
How is it dispatched and how long does it take?
Domestic loads go by road from our Malappuram base; export consignments load at Cochin (Kochi), with Tuticorin available on request. Typical lead time runs from about a week for a small domestic load to 15–25 days for a full export container, depending on grade and packing.
What documents do you provide?
Domestic orders ship with a GST invoice and e-way bill. Export consignments carry the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin as standard, with phytosanitary certificate, fumigation certificate and third-party inspection arranged where the destination or the buyer requires them.
