Global Copra Meal Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

The global Copra Meal market size is predicted to grow from US$ 527 million in 2025 to US$ 747 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.1% from 2026 to 2032.

Copra meal, often referred to as coconut meal, coconut oil cake, or copra cake, is the highly nutritious residue left over after the extraction of oil from dried coconut kernels (copra). It is a brownish, highly palatable feed ingredient that serves as an excellent source of energy and protein for various livestock species, from dairy cows to equine athletes.

Unlike other protein meals that are merely fillers, this ingredient offers a unique combination of bypass protein and digestible fiber. It is produced through two primary methods:

Mechanical Expulsion: This method uses physical pressure to squeeze oil out. It typically yields a meal with higher residual oil content (8-12%), providing valuable extra energy for animals.

Solvent Extraction: Chemical solvents remove nearly all the oil, resulting in a lower fat product (1-3%) with slightly higher protein concentration but less metabolizable energy.

According to data from Feedipedia, a leading resource on animal feed, coconut meal is particularly valued for ruminants because its protein is relatively resistant to rumen degradation. This “bypass” quality allows for better absorption of amino acids in the small intestine, directly supporting muscle growth and milk production. In 2025, global Copra Meal production reached approximately 1,253 K MT, with an average global market price of around US$ 430 per MT.

Copra Meal, as the main byproduct of coconut oil pressing, is one of the important plant protein feed materials worldwide, and its market demand is closely related to the development of animal husbandry and aquaculture. In recent years, with the continuous expansion of the aquaculture industry in Asia, especially Southeast Asia, and the increasing global demand for alternative protein feed materials, the application of coconut meal in ruminant animal feed and some aquatic feed has gradually increased. At the same time, the coconut industry chain in major coconut producing countries such as the Philippines, Indonesia, and India continues to improve, ensuring stable supply of coconut meal. The future market growth mainly depends on the expansion of aquaculture demand, diversification of feed formulas, and sustained development of international trade. However, it is also affected by fluctuations in prices of alternative protein raw materials such as soybean meal and cyclical changes in coconut production, presenting an overall market pattern of steady growth and high regional concentration.
