Market Overview

The South Korea copra cake market is a term used to describe the sector, which is engaged in the import, distribution, and utilization of copra cake, a high-fiber, protein-rich byproduct derived from coconut oil extraction. It is mainly utilized in the production of animal feed and organic fertilizers. The market in South Korea is very much supported by the growth of the country’s demand for cost-effective livestock nutrition and sustainable agricultural practices. Copra cake, the main source, is coming from the Philippines, Indonesia, and India, and it is a cheaper alternative to the feed ingredients such as soybean and fish meal. Besides, its usage as a nature fertilizer is going to be increasingly more covered due to the environmental issues raised and the implementation of organic farming practices. Even though the protein meals have better digestibility than copra cake, its low price, availability, and fiber content make it a valuable component in mixed feed making. The market is still import-dependent but safe as well as unchanged, with repeated need from livestock producers, fertilizer manufacturers, and agricultural cooperatives all over South Korea.
