In Germany, the highest-cost reporting region, Desiccated Coconut prices rose near 3.0% in Q3 2026, moving from just under USD 3,660/MT in Q2 to just above USD 3,770/MT in Q3, and it was higher fresh nut prices and strong orders from bakery and confectionery buyers that most plausibly shaped the move. Across the tracked regions, the global average rose from roughly USD 2,950/MT in Q2 to close to USD 3,043/MT in Q3, a gain of about 3.2%. For Q4 2026, a global average of near USD 2,920 to 3,230/MT is expected, with nut supply, coconut oil prices, and bakery and confectionery demand guiding the range.
Desiccated coconut is the shredded, dried white meat of mature coconuts, made by paring, washing, grinding, and drying the kernel, and it is sold in fine, medium, and macaroon cuts with a moisture content below three percent. It is used in bakery, confectionery, snack bars, breakfast cereals, and desserts as a flavour and texture ingredient, with bakery and confectionery taking the largest share of demand. Fresh nut and copra prices, coconut oil prices, bakery and confectionery demand, and container freight rates all feed into the price.
The balance of supply and demand for desiccated coconut through the end of 2026 leans firm. Nut supply stayed tight through the year, and coconut oil prices held near two thousand dollars per tonne, which keeps nuts expensive for mills. Importers continue to buy ahead of the baking season.
The main upside risk is a further rise in nut prices after dry weather or typhoon damage that lifts prices above the forecast range. The main downside risk is a recovery in nut supply and weaker bakery demand, which would pull prices below the forecast.
