Traditional vs Modern Extraction
Traditional methods use mechanical pressing, while modern facilities use expeller pressing or solvent extraction for higher yield.
Oil Yield Factors
Oil yield depends on copra quality, moisture content, and extraction method. Premium copra with oil content above 65% yields the best results.
