Coconut Oil Production Santo Limited

Coconut Oil Production Santo Limited (“COPSL”) is a registered Vanuatu Company which was incorporated under the Vanuatu Companies Act.

COPSL is located on the largest island of Santo, one of 83 islands in the Vanuatu Group of which the northern most islands actively harvest and farm the coconut tree.

The company was originally established to support the local communities and provide a valuable means of income for the local farmers and to produce oil for commercial use by islanders. Since then, the reputation and size of the company has grown significantly to its current position and is regarded as a reliable purchaser, processor, employer, and producer of coconut oil, bio-fuel, and other by-products.

The company collects coconuts to obtain the copra meat mainly from within Santos and the immediate outlying islands, which is then brought to Luganville, the Capital of Santo by boat for the value adding process to occur. It is then either: Crushed into oil for marketing and export without value adding with the residual by-product used in stockfeed, as a food supplement, or fertilizer.

As a result of having established this business as a strong reliable employer of islanders, and providing a market off take for a naturally grown resource being coconuts, COPSL enjoys favourable relations and strong Government support and the Government has indicated their support for the growth plans that COPSL has and the creation of new farms. A significant number of local residents are employed at the mill providing a stable income for many families.

COPSL has slowly but systematically progressed to the situation it finds itself in today with a growing market, production reputation, reliable employer status and a productive mill.
