Copra is the dried meat or kernel of the coconut fruit, primarily used to extract coconut oil. It is produced by harvesting mature coconuts, removing the husk, and then drying the white flesh. This process can be done using sunlight, smoke, or hot air. Once dried, copra is processed to obtain oil, which is widely used in cooking, cosmetics, and industrial applications. The remaining residue, known as copra meal, is often used as animal feed due to its high protein content. Copra is an important agricultural product in many tropical countries.
