A fit for mills that
Press each lot soon after it arrives and have already accepted the higher moisture limit in the purchase terms.
Points to weigh before choosing
- How long a lot normally sits before pressing, and whether your warehouse is dry.
- Whether your moisture deduction terms already account for this 8 % limit.
- Whether QC records visible mould separately from the aflatoxin test result.
Papers that travel with the load
A bill of lading and packing list for the load, the COA for lot quality, and a phytosanitary certificate and certificate of origin for quarantine and origin.
Questions buyers ask
What does the 8 per cent moisture limit of smoke-dried copra mean for an oil mill?
Compared with the 6 per cent grade, it means more water paid for per tonne and a bigger mould risk if the lot is not pressed soon after arrival. Check it against your storage time and whether your moisture deduction terms already account for it.
Which limits does Kora publish for smoke-dried milling copra?
Moisture up to 8 per cent, oil content at least 63 per cent and free fatty acid up to 2 per cent. Foreign matter and aflatoxin have no published data. Lot values, method and basis are in the lot COA, so ask for it before unloading.
What should QC record when smoke-dried copra arrives?
Record moisture, visible mould and the pressing plan together, and keep visible mould apart from any aflatoxin test result. Also note how long lots normally wait before pressing and whether your warehouse is dry.
