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.
