| High-Fat (Standard) | Approximately 60 percent or higher | Bakery, confectionery, full-flavor applications |

| Unsweetened | No added sugar | Clean-label, keto, and health-focused products |
Why Source Dried Coconut Through Iran
Coconuts do not grow in Iran, so we are transparent about this from the start. Ario sources fresh coconut kernels from established tropical growing regions and processes, dries, and packages them at our facility in Iran before export. This gives buyers a processing and logistics partner that combines competitive regional costs with direct access to Gulf, European, and Asian shipping routes.
What you are buying is not “grown in Iran” coconut but coconut that is processed, quality-checked, and exported from Iran under our own grading and packaging standards.
Dried Coconut Nutrition Overview
Dried coconut is calorie-dense and rich in fat, most of it saturated fat in the form of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), along with dietary fiber, iron, and potassium.
| Nutrient (per 100g, unsweetened) | Amount |
|---|---|
| Calories | ~660 kcal |
| Total Fat | ~64.5 g |
| Saturated Fat | ~57 g |
| Carbohydrates | ~23.7 g |
| Dietary Fiber | ~16.3 g |
| Sugar | ~7.4 g |
| Protein | ~6.9 g |
| Iron | ~3.3 mg |
| Potassium | ~543 mg |
Because of its high fat and calorie density, dried coconut is typically used in moderate portions as an ingredient rather than eaten in large quantities on its own. Unsweetened varieties are the preferred choice for keto, low-sugar, and clean-label product lines.
Current Dried Coconut Market Pricing
Dried coconut pricing varies by grade, fat content, and certification level. As of 2026, standard industrial FOB lots of desiccated coconut and coconut flakes are typically priced between 3.20 and 4.30 USD per kilogram, while lower-end bulk offers from Southeast Asian origins can range from 0.60 to 2.50 USD per kilogram. Premium certified or organic lots command higher prices, generally between 4.00 and 9.00 USD per kilogram.
These figures reflect global market benchmarks, not a fixed quote. Ario provides current FOB pricing based on your target grade, fat content, volume, and destination market.
| Factor | Effect on Price |
|---|---|
| Fat content and grade | High-fat, fine-grade product typically costs more than low-fat or coarse grades |
| Certification | Organic, Halal, or Kosher certified lots carry a price premium |
| Moisture and particle size specs | Tighter specifications increase processing cost |
| Order volume and packaging | Bulk multiwall or poly-lined bags reduce per-unit cost versus retail packaging |
