Sri Lankan coconut products including oil, desiccated coconut and milk powder

Why Sri Lankan coconut

Sri Lanka (historically Ceylon) is one of the world's established coconut origins, alongside Indonesia, the Philippines and India. Its coconut belt supplies the full processed range, from oils and desiccated coconut to milk powder, cream, flour, water and coconut-nectar sugars.

For B2B buyers, origin is a sourcing decision with real trade-offs. Our coconut products are made from mature Sri Lankan coconuts (Cocos nucifera), at our Matale facility and by approved Sri Lankan coconut processors, with no preservatives, colours or flavours unless declared.

See our guide to sourcing and contract manufacturing coconut in Sri Lanka, and how Sri Lankan supply compares with Indonesian and Philippine origins.

The coconut products we supply

Our signature coconut products, each in the forms buyers order:

See the full coconut range, 21 products in all.

Every lot is traceable from raw material intake to shipment through our batch coding. Our coconut range is made at our Matale facility and by approved Sri Lankan coconut processors. Buyers qualifying us as a supplier are welcome to ask for the certificate scope statement alongside the certificate number, so it is clear which process, whether spray-drying or retort-filling, sits inside it.

Forms and formats

We supply coconut across the forms and packs buyers run: virgin and RBD oils, spray-dried milk powder, desiccated grades for bakery and confectionery, retort-sterilised liquids (milk, cream and water), and glass-jar spreads (jam and treacle). Tell us the product, format and volume and we will match it.

Specifications buyers ask for

Coconut grade is judged on a small set of measurable parameters that move independently, not on appearance alone. The figures below are the published reference limits for the category; the exact result on your Certificate of Analysis depends on the specific product and lot, and we confirm it against your written specification.

Format changes which of these numbers matters most. A brand specifying virgin oil for a flavour claim should hold free fatty acid and moisture tightly and accept a wider organoleptic band; a brand specifying RBD oil for colour and shelf consistency is buying the opposite trade-off, since refining normalises colour and clarity at the expense of the volatile aroma profile.

Virgin coconut oil
Free fatty acid up to 0.2% (as lauric acid), moisture up to 0.15%, peroxide value up to 3 meq/kg (Asian and Pacific Coconut Community standard)
Desiccated coconut
Moisture up to 4% m/m, oil 60% m/m minimum for full-fat, sieve fraction by grade (Codex Standard CXS 177-1991)
Coconut milk powder / cream
Fat, moisture and free-fat to an agreed specification
Microbiology
Total plate count, yeast and mould, Salmonella and E. coli, tested through an external laboratory on request
Heavy metals
Lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury panel, tested through an external laboratory on request

Certifications

Our Matale facility is certified to BRCGS and FSSC 22000 (Version 6), with a GMP attestation.

USDA Organic and EU Organic certification applies to selected SKUs, so we confirm the organic status of the specific SKU you are interested in.

Packaging and export logistics

Oils ship in bulk drums or IBCs. Desiccated coconut and coconut powders ship in bulk bags with a food-grade inner liner, with the pack size agreed per order. Coconut milk, cream and water ship retort-sterilised in cans, pouches or glass, and spreads ship in glass jars. Case configuration and palletising are agreed with you before shipment.

Our default pricing basis is FOB Colombo, which is usually the fairest basis for comparing landed cost against a competing exporter's CFR or CIF price; both are quoted on request. Each shipment carries a chamber of commerce certificate of origin and the documents your destination requires, such as a phytosanitary certificate, and a Certificate of Analysis is available on request. Certified-organic lots ship with the organic import certificate your destination requires (EU or GB Certificate of Inspection, or USDA NOP Import Certificate). Sample dispatch, production lead time and freight transit are three separate clocks worth planning against separately rather than as one number.

Private label, OBM and co-packing

You can take any of these under your own brand. We run private-label, own-brand-manufacturing and co-packing programmes across coconut oils, spray-dried powders, retort-sterilised liquids, and glass-jar spreads, from your recipe and pack format to a certified export run.

Where our coconut is used

Buyers use Sri Lankan coconut across retail grocery, bakery and confectionery, beverage and plant-based, and foodservice, and as raw material for further processing.

For depth, see the VCO buyer's guide, the desiccated coconut and flour brief, the milk powder fat guide, coconut cream fat economics, coconut sugar sourcing, and qualifying a coconut manufacturer.
