The latest update of international prices for coconut products has shown varied trends.
Coconut Oil: Prices in Europe slightly increased, with sellers quoting $1,393.40 per MT CIF, up from $1,388.05 the previous week. Prices were $1,395.79 in May 2024 and $992.94 in June 2023.
Desiccated Coconut: Prices remained stable across major markets (USA, Europe, Others) at 90.00 ¢/lb FOB, unchanged from the previous week.
The Philippines saw a significant increase in the export of coconut products in May, with total shipments reaching 969,121 MT in copra terms, up 11.6% compared to last year. Higher exports of coconut oil, copra meal, and desiccated coconut drove this growth.
In February, 17 non-traditional coconut products generated over USD 100,000 in export revenue. Notable performers included toilet/bath soap, hydrogenated coconut oil, and glycerine, with Indonesia and the USA being major destinations.
However, US imports of lauric oils dropped by 21.3% in April compared to the previous year. This decline was accompanied by a significant % reduction in coconut oil imports by 40.4% and an increase in palm kernel oil imports by 12.2%.
This week, Drewry’s World Container Index increased by 10% to $5,868 per 40ft container. This is 43% below the previous pandemic peak of $10,377 in September 2021, but it is 313% more than the average 2019 (pre-pandemic) rate of $1,420.
This increase seems to continue due to the ongoing Red Sea Crisis, which has no end in sight and no potential solution.
