Asia
During Q1’26, virgin coconut oil production in Asia showed a declining price trend as improved coconut arrivals in key producing countries eased raw material tightness. In the Philippines, coconut oil exports fell 5.8% in February due to weak output, showing that supply recovery was uneven across origins. Indonesia’s HS 15 animal and vegetable oils exports stood at 3.06 billion kg in February 2026, supporting regional availability. Freight costs rose after the Strait of Hormuz disruption, but a stronger coconut supply outweighed logistics pressure.
Europe
During Q1’26, virgin coconut oil production in Europe followed a slightly firm-to-stable trend as the region remained import dependent and exposed to higher shipping costs. The Strait of Hormuz disruption affected energy and vessel movement, raising freight and insurance costs for imported oils. Demand from food, cosmetics, and natural ingredient buyers remained steady, but buyers limited bulk procurement due to high landed-cost risk.
North America
During Q1’26, virgin coconut oil production in North America showed a stable-to-soft trend as import availability remained sufficient and downstream buying was cautious. The virgin coconut oil price analysis showed continued coconut oil inflows, which supported supply availability and kept the market well supplied throughout the quarter. The Iran war increased freight and insurance costs, but buyers relied on existing inventories and regular Asian shipments, limiting upward pressure. Demand from food processing and personal care stayed stable, but was not strong enough to create tightness.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, in the near term, virgin coconut oil prices may remain range-bound, with Asian coconut supply keeping pressure on values. Freight and insurance risks linked to Hormuz may still add short-term upward pressure.

Asia
In 2025, the market for virgin coconut oil in Asia was characterized by an upward trend. At the beginning of the year, the production levels were affected negatively by weather conditions, reduced coconut harvests, and plantation issues, which affected the supply of the raw material. The export market, especially neighbouring countries, was doing well, and this maintained the competitiveness of the local market. The Indonesian and Malaysian markets experienced reduced raw material, while the Philippines recorded the highest price increase, mainly because of the aging coconut trees and weather conditions. The local market maintained its demand, and the export market was active, contributing to the increased prices.
Europe
Virgin Coconut Oil prices in Europe continued to increase in 2025, reflecting the global supply tightness. Shipments from Asian countries decreased, and food, cosmetic, and personal care industries sustained high demand for virgin coconut oil. Buyers had no choice but to compete for the limited supply of virgin coconut oil. Delays in shipment and high freight rates added pressure to the prices. Even though supply conditions somewhat improved during some seasons, they still remained low, sustaining the upward trend in virgin coconut oil prices.
North America
In terms of markets, those in North America also experienced similar trends, whereby prices continued to rise steadily throughout 2025. Lower levels of imports from key Asian countries contributed to a tight market, and a strong demand from food, beverage, and personal care industries ensured prices remained steady. Higher import costs, tariffs, and logistics also contributed to a resolute market.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, prices for Virgin Coconut Oil are likely to remain steady in the short term due to lower levels of production, although replanting programs and higher yields could eventually stabilize the market.
Virgin coconut oil is extracted from fresh coconut meat without the use of chemicals or high heat, preserving its natural flavor and nutrients. Rich in medium-chain fatty acids, particularly lauric acid, it offers various health benefits, including antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Beyond culinary uses, it's popular in cosmetics for its moisturizing effects and in the pharmaceutical industry as a carrier oil. Its versatility extends to industrial applications, such as in biofuels and lubricants, making it a valuable resource across multiple sectors.
