Coconut exports from Pollachi, India, are resuming after three months of disruption due to West Asia tensions. The return of Gulf demand is expected to reduce domestic oversupply and lift coconut prices from recent lows.
A shipment of fresh coconuts from Vietnam's Vinh Long province arrived in China via a refrigerated freight train, reducing transport times and preserving quality. This improves market access for Vietnamese exports and may stabilize supply.

Asia
In the Philippines, virgin coconut oil averaged around 2,338 USD/MT (EXW) in June'26. Sri Lanka's market sat considerably higher, at roughly 3,822 USD/MT (EXW) over the same month. India, meanwhile, commanded approximately 3,704 USD/MT (EXW) in June'26. Asian market conditions softened through Q2 as coconut and copra availability improved after earlier tightness. Lower feedstock costs during May and June reduced production pressure on VCO processors, particularly in the Philippines. The supply outlook also became more comfortable, with Philippine copra production projected at around 2.65 million MT for 2026/27, supporting expectations of improved coconut oil availability. Sri Lankan and Indian values remained higher because of differences in domestic availability, processing costs and the premium attached to export-oriented virgin grades.
Europe
European virgin coconut oil markets also faced softer replacement costs as declining Asian coconut oil values flowed through import contracts. Buyers remained cautious and generally purchased against immediate requirements rather than rebuilding inventories, as expectations of better origin availability reduced urgency. Europe continued to rely heavily on Asian supplies, particularly Philippine material. Lower origin costs helped ease procurement pressure, although freight, certification requirements and organic or cold-pressed specifications continued to support premiums for higher-grade material.
North America
North American virgin coconut oil conditions were similarly influenced by declining Philippine feedstock and export replacement costs. This high dependence on Philippine supply meant the softer Asian cost structure gradually translated into weaker import replacement pressure during Q2. Demand from supplements, functional foods, cosmetics and natural personal-care products remained steady, but buyers maintained disciplined purchasing as supply availability improved.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, virgin coconut oil prices are expected to remain soft to stable as better coconut availability limits cost pressure, while steady food, nutraceutical and personal-care demand should prevent a sharper decline.

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.
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.
