Etymology
The word 'copra' originates from the 16th century, derived from the Malayalam word 'koppara', which refers to the dried coconut kernel. Historically, the production of copra became significant in tropical regions where coconuts thrive, primarily across India, the Philippines, and other Pacific islands. The trade of copra and its related products has been an important part of the economies in these regions. As demand for coconut oil surged, particularly in the health and beauty industries, the processing of copra remained vital. Many cultures incorporated copra into their diets, utilizing it in traditional dishes, while also recognizing its value for commerce.
