Why Coconut Oil Is So Expensive | So Expensive | Business Insider

Coconuts produce some of the most expensive cooking oil, selling for up to 12 times the price of canola oil in the United States. But the health benefits coconut oil devotees swear by are hotly contested, and the American Heart Association even recommended that consumption be avoided. Nevertheless, the industry is expected to grow by half a billion dollars worldwide over the next four years. So with the controversial conversation surrounding the product, why is coconut oil so expensive?

I'm from the Philippines and one of the things that I'm grateful of is, I live where my favorite fruit is cultivated. It's a lot cheaper compared to the price in the Western but since I was a teenager I really think the price here is a bit expensive especially for the the poor people. It's $0.50 minimum for a young coconut, considering I live in a developing country. It has a steady has price for 2 decades as far as I can remember. I don't know the price prior to that as I was just a grade school back then. It's price equals one apple and we don't cultivate apple here, obviously. One matured coconut could only make a quarter or less of a liter I believe. I worked in a vegetable manufacturing company before and they don't process coconut oil because it's expensive (that's from a business owners pov) I. So yeah even I considered it expensive. And yeah I also have difficult time finding young fresh coconut in where I'm currently living right now. Also, coconut cooking oil is outnumbered by palm oil in the market.

In S-India, in early 90s; local coconuts were tarnished/abused as bad for diet whilst imported sunflower were better. Now they say regional factors are very important and what is good in diet in one continent is not the same for the other. Unnecessary vilification of coconut by vested interests. meanwhile, coconut trees in backyards have reduced, as labour costs to pluck them have skyroocketed; land parcels have reduced and coconut farming as a sustainable business is no longer viable for most. sad predicament. earlier we used to give away coconuts from our native house and now there are hardly any to share.

Real coconut oil is made by drying the coconut in the sun for 2 weeks then cold extracted and saturated fat content is far less compared to hot extraction from just ripe coconuts.

Setting up a drill platform on a coconut can't be cheap.

Dear friends, coconut oil is not a very expensive item in Kerala(India). There are lot of companies producing coconut oil. Kera, KLF etc etc. (Mazha peyyunnu madhalam kottunnu)

By the way. The coconut oil that these manufacturers is the one that is expensive but the actual coconuts they buy from farmers are absolutely cheap.

They rig the price of the raw materials then sell the actual products for almost double the cost.
