Coconut Oil Price Trends, Forecast, Chart, Prices and Index | Q2 2026

The Coconut Oil Price Trend changed noticeably during Q2 2026, with prices moving lower across most major producing, importing, and domestic markets. The main reasons were better copra availability, seasonal harvesting in important producing countries, softer demand from edible oil buyers, and stronger competition from lower-cost vegetable oils. India recorded some of the sharpest quarterly declines, while export and import markets in Asia, Europe, and the United States generally experienced more moderate reductions.

Coconut Oil Market Overview in Q2 2026

Coconut oil is closely connected to the availability and cost of copra, which is the dried meat of the coconut. When copra supply improves, coconut oil producers usually have better access to raw material. This can reduce production pressure and eventually put downward pressure on coconut oil values.

This pattern was visible during Q2 2026. The Philippines and Indonesia had more comfortable copra availability as the harvest season improved supply. At the same time, demand from edible oil markets was not strong enough to absorb the additional supply quickly.

Another factor was competition from other vegetable oils, particularly palm oil. When alternative oils are available at more attractive prices, buyers can become more cautious about purchasing coconut oil. This can create additional pressure on the market.

As a result, the overall Coconut Oil Prices moved lower across most monitored markets during the quarter.

India Coconut Oil Prices

India experienced some of the largest quarterly declines during Q2 2026. Domestic markets were affected by improved copra availability, particularly from Kerala and other important coconut-producing areas.

At Ex-Kochi, coconut oil prices declined by approximately 14.58% during Q2 2026. The increase in domestic copra availability reduced the tightness that had supported prices previously.

The Ex-Kozhikode market recorded an even larger decline of around 16.90%, making it the steepest quarterly fall among the monitored markets in the supplied Q2 data. Better local supply put pressure on mill pricing during the quarter.

Ex-Kangayam also declined, falling by around 8.34% during Q2. However, this market behaved differently in June. While most markets continued to experience downward pressure, Ex-Kangayam prices increased by approximately 16.02% in June because tighter local copra availability supported a late-month recovery.

This shows why regional supply conditions are important when studying coconut oil. Even within the same country, price movements can differ depending on local raw-material availability.

Philippines Coconut Oil Price Trend

The Philippines is one of the most important origins for coconut oil, so changes in its supply situation can influence international markets.

During Q2 2026, the Coconut Oil Price Trend for crude coconut oil in the Philippines moved lower by around 4.61%. Better copra supply during the harvest season and softer global edible oil demand contributed to the decline.

Refined coconut oil also declined during the quarter. Refined or RBD coconut oil prices fell by approximately 5.36%. Demand from food and oleochemical buyers was softer, while raw-material availability remained comfortable.

June was particularly weak. Crude coconut oil prices in the Philippines declined by around 19.54% during the month, while refined coconut oil prices fell by approximately 13.25%.

This sharp monthly correction demonstrates how quickly the market can react when buyers find sufficient supply and reduce procurement activity.

Indonesia Coconut Oil Price Trend

Indonesia showed a comparatively moderate quarterly decline.

Crude coconut oil prices in Indonesia decreased by around 1.28% during Q2 2026. Domestic copra availability improved, while global demand remained relatively soft. These factors kept export prices under pressure.

Refined coconut oil prices were even more stable, declining by only around 0.53% during the quarter. Consistent processing activity and steady copra availability helped keep the market relatively balanced.

However, June brought a stronger correction. Indonesian crude coconut oil prices fell by around 25.81%, while refined coconut oil declined by approximately 9.96%.

The difference between the quarterly and monthly movements highlights an important point for buyers: a relatively stable quarterly market can still experience significant short-term price changes.

Malaysia Import Market

Malaysia's coconut oil market was also influenced by developments in the Philippines and Indonesia.

Philippines-origin crude coconut oil imported into Malaysia declined by around 4.34% during Q2 2026. Lower Philippine FOB prices were passed through to Malaysian import valuations.

Indonesia-origin crude coconut oil imported into Malaysia recorded a smaller quarterly decline of approximately 1.03%. The movement reflected softer Indonesian export prices and comfortable copra availability.

June was much weaker for both origins. Philippines-origin material declined by around 19.20%, while Indonesia-origin material fell by approximately 25.45%.

For importers, this shows the importance of monitoring both the destination market and the country of origin. A change in FOB prices can eventually influence CIF prices in the importing country.

Netherlands Coconut Oil Prices

The Netherlands provides an important European import-market perspective.

Philippines-origin crude coconut oil imported into the Netherlands declined by around 2.77% during Q2 2026. Comfortable supply at origin and lower Philippine export prices contributed to the decline.

Indonesia-origin crude coconut oil behaved differently. It increased slightly by around 0.52% during the quarter before experiencing a sharper correction toward the end of the period. Early strength in Indonesian FOB prices supported import valuations during April and May, but improved supply later placed pressure on the market.

This difference between the two origins shows why a single global coconut oil price cannot explain every market. Origin, freight, import costs, buyer activity, and local availability can all influence the final price.

USA Coconut Oil Market

The United States also recorded lower coconut oil prices during Q2 2026.

Philippines-origin crude coconut oil imported into the West Coast market declined by approximately 2.52%. The East Coast market recorded a smaller decline of around 1.27%.

Refined coconut oil also moved lower. West Coast refined coconut oil declined by around 3.27%, while the East Coast recorded a decline of approximately 2.12%.

June again produced a stronger correction than the overall quarterly movement. Crude coconut oil prices declined by approximately 15.45% on the West Coast and 13.03% on the East Coast. Refined coconut oil declined by around 9.51% and 7.44%, respectively.

For American buyers, these movements indicate that international origin prices can have a meaningful impact on import-market valuations.

China Coconut Oil Prices

China's refined coconut oil import market also weakened during Q2 2026.

Philippines-origin refined coconut oil prices declined by approximately 5.30% during the quarter. Softer Philippine export prices and comfortable supply conditions contributed to the reduction.

Indonesia-origin refined coconut oil prices were more stable, declining by only around 0.45%. Consistent processing activity and steady copra availability helped limit the quarterly movement.

However, both origins experienced noticeable declines in June, showing that short-term buying behavior remained an important factor.

Understanding the Coconut Oil Price Chart

The Coconut Oil Price Chart for Q2 2026 would show a generally downward direction across most markets, followed by a sharper decline in June.

The chart is useful because it helps buyers see the difference between a gradual quarterly decline and a sudden monthly correction. For example, India's Ex-Kozhikode market declined significantly over the quarter, while Ex-Kangayam experienced a late rebound in June.

Similarly, international markets generally recorded moderate quarterly declines but much larger monthly corrections toward the end of the quarter.

For procurement teams, looking at both monthly and quarterly movements can provide a clearer understanding of market direction.

Coconut Oil Price Index

The Coconut Oil Price Index during Q2 2026 was mainly shaped by three broad factors: supply, demand, and competition from other edible oils.

On the supply side, improved copra availability reduced pressure on producers. On the demand side, buyers were more cautious, particularly in food and oleochemical applications. At the same time, competition from lower-priced vegetable oils made it more difficult for coconut oil prices to remain elevated.

The index therefore reflected a generally softer market environment.

However, the index should not be viewed as a fixed indicator for every location. Different markets can move at different speeds because of transportation costs, origin, local inventories, exchange rates, procurement timing, and regional supply conditions.

Coconut Oil Price Forecast: What Could Influence the Next Move?

Looking ahead, the future direction of coconut oil prices will depend heavily on copra availability and buyer demand.

If supply remains comfortable in the Philippines and Indonesia, prices could continue to face pressure. Buyers may also remain selective if alternative vegetable oils remain competitively priced.

On the other hand, tighter coconut supply could quickly change the market. Coconut oil production depends heavily on the availability of coconuts and copra, so any reduction in raw-material availability can create upward pressure.

Weather conditions will also remain important. Coconut production is influenced by seasonal conditions, and any disruption affecting harvesting or crop availability could affect the supply balance.

Demand from food, personal care, and oleochemical industries will be another important factor. If downstream buyers increase procurement, the market could stabilize or recover. If buyers continue purchasing only when needed, downward pressure may remain.

What Buyers Should Watch

Companies that use coconut oil as a raw material should monitor several indicators rather than looking at only one price point.

First, buyers should track copra availability in major producing countries. Changes in raw-material supply can provide an early indication of potential coconut oil movement.

Second, it is useful to compare crude and refined coconut oil prices. Their movements can differ depending on processing costs and downstream demand.

Third, importers should watch FOB prices at origin together with CIF prices in destination markets. This helps identify how quickly changes are being transmitted through the supply chain.

Finally, buyers should monitor competing vegetable oils. When alternative oils become cheaper, coconut oil demand can be affected.

The Q2 2026 Coconut Oil Price Trend was broadly bearish across most monitored markets. Better copra availability, seasonal harvesting in major producing countries, softer edible oil demand, and competition from lower-cost oils created downward pressure.

India recorded some of the strongest quarterly declines, with Ex-Kochi falling around 14.58% and Ex-Kozhikode declining around 16.90%. International markets generally saw more moderate quarterly declines, although June brought a much sharper correction in many locations.

The Coconut Oil Prices, Coconut Oil Price Chart, and Coconut Oil Price Index together provide a useful picture of how the market changed during the quarter. While the overall direction was lower, individual markets did not always move in the same way.

For buyers, processors, traders, and procurement teams, understanding supply conditions, demand patterns, origin markets, and regional differences is essential. Rather than relying on a single number, following the broader market trend can help businesses make better purchasing and planning decisions.
