From husk to container
How your coco peat is made
Quality is checked after screening, after washing, after drying and again before pressing — not just once at the end.
Raw husk selection
Mature coconut husk from mills across Tamil Nadu's coir belt is graded on arrival; damaged or contaminated husk is rejected.
Screening
Rotary screens remove sand, grit and oversized particles, grading pith to 0 – 6 mm.
Washing & buffering
Pith for low EC grades is washed with fresh river water to flush out natural sodium and potassium; buffered grade is treated with calcium nitrate.
Lab testing
Every batch is tested for EC, pH, moisture and sand with calibrated meters, and results are logged against the batch number.
Hydraulic compression
Tested pith is pressed into 5 kg blocks (30 × 30 × 12 – 15 cm) or 650 g briquettes.
Container stuffing
Containers are stuffed, photographed, sealed and documented, and the photo set is shared with you before sailing.

Buyer FAQ
Questions importers ask first
Can't find yours? Message us on WhatsApp — we usually answer the same day.
What is the difference between washed, buffered and high EC coco peat?
High EC coco peat is natural and unwashed, so it keeps the salts the husk was harvested with. Washed coco peat is rinsed with fresh water to bring EC down to about 0.5 – 0.7 mS/cm. Buffered coco peat is washed and then treated with a calcium nitrate solution, which replaces sodium and potassium on the fibre with calcium so the medium doesn't lock up calcium and magnesium from your nutrient solution; it targets EC below 0.5 mS/cm.
How many 5 kg coco peat blocks fit in a 40 ft container?
About 5,200 blocks (≈ 26 MT) when floor-loaded in bulk, or about 4,620 blocks (≈ 23 MT) with palletised bundle packing. We confirm the exact count against your stuffing plan before booking.
What is your minimum order quantity?
Our standard export unit is one 40 ft high-cube container. We send samples before the first order and can discuss trial quantities for new buyers.
Can I get samples before ordering?
Yes. Tell us your target EC, format and destination and we will send samples together with the current batch test values. Courier cost is agreed in advance.
Which ports do you ship from and which Incoterms do you offer?
We ship from Chennai and Tuticorin (V.O. Chidambaranar) ports in Tamil Nadu. Quotations are FOB by default; CIF and CFR are available on request.
