These operating plants have a combined crushing capacity of 355,000 metric tons of copra with a refining capacity of 240,000 metric tons of different grades of processed coconut oils. The oil mills’ total crushing capacity controls 16% of the country’s coconut oil milling industry. Based on annual Philippine copra production, the CIIF OMG maintains 25-30% share.
The company-owned fleet, Iligan Bay Express Corporation, is engaged to transport raw materials (copra) from CIIF Copra Buying Stations in the countryside to the oil milling plants/refineries. This engagement assures the oil mill plants sufficient stocks to keep the manufacturing operations dynamic. A number of Copra Buying Stations (CBS) are in place nationwide to gather and buy the copra harvest from the coconut farmers.
Through the years, the company has proven to serve global demands for fats and oils and animal feeds of the world’s biggest and prestigious customers.
CIIF OMG’s very own local coconut cooking oil brand Minola dominates the consumer pack market segment with overall leadership in the Philippine vegetable oil business. It has been in the Philippine market for over 50 years and continues to soar in Asia, Middle East and North American markets as well.
