Coco Peat
Compressed coco peat (coconut pith) blocks that rehydrate into a light, free-draining growing medium — for berry farms, hydroponics, nurseries, and soil conditioning.
Specifications
- Material
- 100% coconut husk pith — washed, with optional calcium buffering
- MOQ
- 1 x 20ft container (mixed block sizes negotiable)
- Packaging
- Compressed blocks, shrink-wrapped and palletized for container loading
Overview
Coco peat is the fine pith left over after coir fibre is extracted from coconut husks. We compress it into blocks for economical shipping; on soaking it loosens back into a light, airy medium that holds moisture at the roots while draining freely.
Key features
- High water-holding capacity with good aeration for root growth
- Sieved to a uniform texture — consistent from batch to batch
- Renewable byproduct of coconut processing
Customization
- Custom block weights and shrink-wrap branding above MOQ
- Grow bags, briquettes, and loose-fill options on request
Use cases
Perfect For
Strawberry & Berry Farms
A proven substrate for table-top and greenhouse berry growing — steady moisture at the roots with free drainage, so plants never sit in water.
Hydroponics & Soilless Growing
Low-salt, inert pith works as a drip-fed medium in slabs and grow bags, giving growers full control over the nutrient program.
Nurseries & Seed Starting
Fine, uniform texture makes a reliable base for germination trays, propagation, and potting mixes.
Soil Conditioning
Blended into beds and fields, it loosens heavy earth and improves water retention in sandy soil.

How it’s made
The Production Journey
Husk Collection
Coconut husks are sourced from local processing units as a byproduct of coconut de-husking.
Pith Extraction & Aging
Husks are defibered to separate the coir fibre, and the leftover pith is aged to reduce natural tannins and phenols.
Washing for Low EC
Pith is washed with water to bring down electrical conductivity (EC) — the residual salt from the husk.
Buffering (Optional)
Pith can be treated with a calcium solution that displaces the sodium and potassium bound to the fibre.
Sun Drying
Washed pith is sun-dried to bring moisture down to a stable, shippable level.
Sieving
Dried pith is sieved to remove long fibre and coarse particles, giving a consistent, uniform texture.
Compression
Sieved pith is compressed into blocks at a high ratio, reducing shipping volume while preserving expansion capacity on rehydration.
QC & Export Packing
Finished blocks pass a final check, then are wrapped, stacked, and loaded for export.
Low Salts, Grower-Ready
Washing — with calcium buffering on request — brings salt levels down to a range safe for sensitive crops, and lab reports (EC, pH) can accompany every shipment.
Checked Before It Ships
Batches are sampled for weight, density, and moisture before packing is cleared, so each container matches the spec sheet you ordered against.
