This is a kopyor coconut. Oh yes, not all the fruit on a kopyor coconut tree is a kopyor coconut. Because in one kopyor coconut tree trunk, only about 40-50 percent of it becomes kopyor, the rest are normal coconuts which will later be used as seeds.

It's also unique, it turns out that to get a kopyor coconut, the seeds are actually selected from normal coconuts. For this seedling process, first we peel the coconut, to make it easier for the shoots to grow.

Secondly, to absorb or store water from the watering.

Seedling kopyor coconuts is indeed not as easy as seedling other plants. The coconuts that will be used as seeds should not be careless, there are specific criteria. The coconuts must be old, this can be marked by the weight of the seeds themselves, which must be light. Then the color of the coconut skin must be slightly brownish and blackish.

The coconuts for seeds are left for two weeks, then they are planted. The planting medium for the seedling cultivation process is loosened first by being given fertilizer.

However, the lack of equipment and lack of knowledge make farmers quite satisfied with the traditional cultivation of kopyor coconuts.

Seedlings to be sold must be accompanied by an official certificate from the Plantation Service Seed Center Production Center. This regulation is established to prevent the illegal distribution of kopyor seedlings. To obtain a certificate, kopyor farmers must register their parent kopyor coconuts with the relevant service.
