Shipment window
The coconut palm bears fruit year-round on a roughly two to three month per-tree harvest cycle, so copra has no single hard annual season the way a row crop does; nuts must mature ten to thirteen months on the tree before they carry full oil content for copra. Arrival timing follows the buyer's ocean freight transit time from the loading port rather than a fixed shipping season.
| Harvest | Jan to Dec |
|---|---|
| Arrival at destination | Jan to Dec |
Year-round harvest across the archipelago, no single national closed season.
Windows outside this are priced on request. Tell us when you need it and we will work back from the date.
What we quote, and how far out
We stand on both sides of spot cash prompt out to three months, physical delivered prompt out to six months and forward from three months to twelve months. We price options, swaps and storage and rental against a stated side, quantity and window, and anything past the dates above the same way. There is no cap on the dates we will look at.
A two-way quote is firm only when a trader confirms it in writing against your side, quantity and delivery window.
