Coconut product
MOQ: 1 containerCocopeat
Washed, buffered coir pith for growers, nurseries and blenders.
Cocopeat (coir pith) is the spongy fibre milled from coconut husks — a renewable, high-retention growing medium for horticulture, hydroponics and nurseries. Ours is washed to control salts and sieved for consistent structure.
Pressed into 5 kg blocks, briquettes or loose bags for container shipment — with EC, pH and expansion confirmed per lot.
Background & commercial significance
Coir was historically a rope-and-mat fibre while the spongy pith was discarded — until Dutch greenhouse growers in the 1980s–90s proved washed coir pith could outperform peat in slabs and pots. It is now a mainstream professional substrate, valued as peatlands face extraction limits.

Washed or buffered?
Washed is standard; calcium-buffered low-EC grades are available for hydroponics and sensitive crops.
Blocks or loose?
Both. Blocks ship dense and expand on site; blenders usually take loose bags.
How much expands from a 5 kg block?
Expansion varies by compression — typical yields are confirmed per lot with your quote.
