cultivators and processors of coconut products. Current production
exceeds 2500 millions nuts a year. Coconut tree plantations are mainly
loacated in the Chilaw district which is unknown as the ‘Coconut
Triangke’, where de-husked coconuts are transported to various factories
throughout the island.
Upon arrival the nuts are subject to an initial quality inspection

hygienic conditions at our large warehouses. To accommodate each item

COIR (FROM COCONUT)
Coconut coir pith and briquette are much sought after items by
horticulturists the world over. The coir pith, which is fully
biodegradable and Eco friendly is used as a plant growing medium and
soil conditioner for landscaping. It is an ideal readymade potting mix.
Coir briquette is widely used to grow ‘lkebana’ in Japan and East Asia. This has created a niche market for our coir exports.
We believe that natural products like such have no wastage, therefore
discarded coconut shells are gathered and their husks are made into
coir briquettes. The shells themselves are turned into charcoal that has
wide application in flirtation once it has been activated. These are
later packed under our label for export. |
