Popis:	Twenty five commercial copra kilns in Sri Lanka were studied for variations oftheir dimensions and copra curing practices in relation to the "Standard CeylonCopra Kiln" and the quality of copra produced. Changes in the height and the widthof the platform resulting in probable changes in drying conditions of copra wasnoted. The use of powdered charcoal appeared to improve the quality of copraproduced and more cost effective than use of coconut shells. Addition of sulphur dustto the fuel further improved the quality of copra.
