Coco Peat
Low EC coco peat in blocks, briquettes and grow bags
Coco peat is the sponge-like pith washed out of coconut husk, compressed into blocks and rehydrated as a growing medium. Growers use it in place of peat moss for its water-holding capacity and root aeration; we supply washed low-EC and buffered grades to horticulture, hydroponics and nursery buyers.

Grades we supply
Washed low EC
Repeatedly washed to bring conductivity under 0.5 mS/cm — the default for horticulture.
Buffered
Calcium-treated to displace sodium and potassium, for hydroponic and coir-specific feed programmes.
Raw / unwashed
Untreated pith for soil conditioning and industrial use where EC is not critical.

Coco Peat — buyer questions
What EC level does your coco peat come in?
Our washed grade is supplied under 0.5 mS/cm. Buffered material is available where a hydroponic feed programme needs sodium and potassium displaced with calcium. Raw, unwashed pith is available for soil conditioning where EC is not critical.
How many 5 kg coco peat blocks fit in a container?
Approximately 4,000 blocks in a 20ft container and 5,300 in a 40ft high cube, subject to block density and destination weight limits.
What quantity of coco peat can I order?
Whatever suits you — there is no fixed minimum. We supply single bags and part loads to buyers within India, part-container (LCL) consignments, and full 20ft and 40ft containers for export. Tell us the quantity you need and we will quote it.
Do you supply within India as well as export?
Yes. Domestic orders are dispatched by road from Malappuram, Kerala, on a GST invoice, and export consignments load at Cochin port. The same grades are available either way.
Do you send samples before an order?
Yes. Samples are couriered on request, with courier freight at the buyer's account. Sample specifications are matched to the grade quoted so what you test is what you receive.
What are your payment terms?
Within India, bank transfer or UPI against a proforma invoice. For export, 30% advance by TT with the balance against a copy of the bill of lading, or an irrevocable LC at sight on larger consignments. Terms are agreed per order.
How is it dispatched and how long does it take?
Domestic loads go by road from our Malappuram base; export consignments load at Cochin (Kochi), with Tuticorin available on request. Typical lead time runs from about a week for a small domestic load to 15–25 days for a full export container, depending on grade and packing.
What documents do you provide?
Domestic orders ship with a GST invoice and e-way bill. Export consignments carry the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin as standard, with phytosanitary certificate, fumigation certificate and third-party inspection arranged where the destination or the buyer requires them.
