Production process and technology:
Pretreatment: Dry coconut needs to be cleaned, broken, steamed and fried to increase the oil yield. For example, dry coconut is broken into appropriate particle sizes, and then steamed and stir-fried to rupture fat cells and precipitate phospholipids in preparation for subsequent oil extraction.
Oil Extraction: Coconut oil can be extracted using traditional pressing methods or in combination with solvent extraction. The pressing method can retain the natural flavor and nutrients of coconut oil, but the oil yield is relatively low; the solvent leaching method can increase the oil yield, but the solvent needs to be recycled and processed to ensure the safety of the product.
Refining: The extracted crude oil needs to be refined to remove impurities, free fatty acids, pigments, etc. to improve the quality and stability of coconut oil. The refining process includes phosphoric acid degumming, deacidification, decolorization, deodorization and other processes.
Marketing and Sales:
Domestic market: Coconut oil has a certain amount of consumption in the Philippine domestic market and is used in cooking, food processing, beauty and skin care and other fields. With the development of the Philippine economy and the improvement of people’s living standards, the demand for coconut oil is also increasing.
Export market: The Philippines is an important exporter of coconut oil in the world. The products of the copra oil factory are mainly exported to Europe, the United States, Asia and other countries and regions. The coconut oil it exports has certain price and quality advantages in the international market and is recognized by consumers.
Challenges and opportunities:
challenge:
Unstable supply of raw materials: Although the Philippines has a high coconut output, the output and quality of coconuts may fluctuate due to factors such as climate, pests and diseases, resulting in unstable supply of raw materials and affecting the production of copra oil factories.
Fierce market competition: In the international market, competition for coconut oil is fierce, and coconut oil products from Indonesia, Malaysia and other countries are also competing for market share. Philippine copra oil factories need to continuously improve product quality and brand awareness to cope with competition.
Increased environmental protection requirements: With the improvement of environmental awareness, copra oil factories need to meet higher environmental protection requirements during the production process, such as wastewater treatment, exhaust gas emissions, etc., which increases the production cost and management difficulty of the enterprise.
