Desiccated coconut processing machine Brazil solutions from GEM Cocotech — dehuskers, deshellers, paring machines, shredders, dryers, coolers and packaging systems for export-grade DC, sized for Brazil's diverse coconut-growing regions.
Brazil is one of the world's largest coconut-producing countries, generating a substantial supply of mature coconuts suitable for desiccated coconut (DC) production. Desiccated coconut — coco desidratado — is a high-value coconut export, used across the food, bakery, confectionery and snack industries worldwide.
GEM Cocotech supplies modular and integrated desiccated coconut processing systems — including linhas de coco desidratado — designed around each customer's coconut supply, location, labour conditions, electricity supply, humidity levels, and target export specifications. Our solutions include dehusking, deshelling, paring, shredding, drying, cooling, sieving, and packaging systems suitable for both domestic industries and export-oriented operations.
Brazil's coconut production is concentrated in the Northeast region, with Ceará, Bahia, and Pernambuco leading the way. According to IBGE PAM 2023, these states together account for a significant share of Brazil's total coconut output.
A desiccated coconut processing machine Brazil project can be sited wherever mature coconut supply is consistent. The states below currently account for the large majority of national coconut production.
According to IBGE PAM 2023, the Northeast region alone represents about 80% of Brazil's coconut production, with Ceará and Bahia as the leading states. These ten states together account for approximately 76% of national output.
Whole coconuts are bulky, and husk and shell together make up roughly 60% of their weight — material that is not needed for desiccated coconut. Transporting whole coconuts over long distances wastes payload and increases spoilage risk for the meat. For Brazil, GEM Cocotech can design a hub-and-spoke arrangement that works with Brazil's large-scale agricultural production model.
Discuss A Hub-And-Spoke PlanCollection centres dehusk and deshell fresh coconuts near the plantations.
Only the coconut meat — the useful raw material — is transported to the central plant.
The central plant performs paring, shredding, drying, cooling and sieving.
Finished desiccated coconut is graded, packed and shipped to food, bakery and confectionery buyers worldwide.
