Indonesia, and Philippines are well known as coconut planters. Coconuts are
known for its versatility as seen in many uses of its different parts. It also has
cultural and religious significance in many societies. Copra is the dried meat or
operated manually to get copra/coconut meat out. But it consumes more time
and more physical exertion of effort for the workers. The objective is to reduce
husk and de-shell the coconut and it is operated with less wastage of copra. This
machine reduces the accidents that may happen during de-husking and de-
shelling manually.
The machine proposed in this work basically does two processes. They
are de-husking and de-shelling. De-husking is the process of removing the husk
from the nut, while de-shelling is the process of removing the shell from the
the most fundamental issue in terms of efficient labor and improving productivity.
The aim of this project is to reduce the human efforts and to increase the
rate of de-husking and de-shelling the coconut. This machine takes into
consideration the dangers, hazards and risks involved in de-husking and de-
shelling the coconut which will be efficient, productive, less exertion of effort,
easy to use and most importantly cost effective in production, maintenance and
repair.
Today there are various techniques used for de-husking and de-shelling
the coconut. These techniques have limitations in process. Despite of that these
techniques are widely used for de-husking and de-shelling the coconut. Those
techniques are,
injurious or hazardous for the worker. But in the coconut de-husking and de-
shelling machine, these problems are eliminated. This leads to the safety,

The long and strong coconut tree has been an essential flora in many
cultures all around the world. Every part of the tree, from top to bottom, has a
purpose and these were discovered by the early man living near them.
Though the fruit was difficult to harvest at first due to the height to which
the tree grows, humans eventually found ways to harvest the fruit successfully.
The leaves were used for shelter, the husk of the coconut as fire fodder, water to
parch thirst and the milky insides as food; this magnificent tree was called the
way of life, one still could not live without this resource. Coconut plantations have
a huge market out there, especially in the tropical regions where this tree is
famous. Following are the top 10 largest coconut producing countries in the world
in 2018.

Problems affecting the coconut industry

Compared to most other oil bearing crops, yield from coconut is very low.
On the average, one hectare of coconut yields about a ton as compared to oil
palm's four tons. The situation is further worsened by the increasing area of
coconut getting senile. Numerous pests and diseases have further reduced

Indonesia, there is the natuna wilt. Bud rot disease is, however, common to most
countries. But in some cases, the cause of certain disease has not been
identified. Natural calamities, which most often are unpredictable, likewise cause
heavy toll on the industry. The spate of typhoons which hit the Philippines a year

In the world market, the wide price fluctuation of coconut oil is a common
occurrence. For instance, the average coconut oil price in 1984 was US$ 1156/t
compared to US$ 287/t in 1986. This price fluctuation affects the trade, and most
of its impact is felt by the small-scale farmers. While the benefits of higher prices
are not passed to them in that proportion, lower prices certainly affect them.
These price fluctuations are not so common in the case of other vegetable oils.
Price fluctuations have been the result of a number of reasons, one of which is
unstable supply. Customers tend to turn to more stable supplies of vegetable oils

skilled labor/worker. That is why Josefina C. Suharto in 1994 pointed out that:
The need for specific manual skills is creating problems in the coconut industry.
Most of the coconuts producing countries are finding it difficult to recruit tree
climbers, most likely the de-huskers and de-shellers of the coconut. Plucking
coconut by climbing is a skilled job too, the same as through with the de-husking
and de-shelling. The entire job is a hazardous one, particularly so during rainy
days. Once the coconuts are plucked and picked, they need to be de-husked.
Otherwise, there is the possibility of one's hands being pierced by the iron stake.
The next step of removing the shells from the nuts pose also some problems,
