Step 01
Husk collection
Coconut husks are collected from farms and coconut processors across Kerala, a by-product that would otherwise go to waste.
Manufacturing
From coconut husk to your container.
Coir is a by-product of the coconut harvest. At our family factory in Kerala, husks are turned into clean, consistent growing media in nine steps.

Step 02
Defibering
Husks are crushed and separated into long coir fibre and the fine pith, also called coco peat.

Step 03
Ageing
The pith is stockpiled and aged so it is stable and consistent before washing.

Step 04
Washing and buffering
Fresh water washes out natural salts to bring EC down. On request, coir is buffered to balance calcium and magnesium.

Step 05
Sun drying
Washed coir is spread on open drying yards until it reaches the right moisture for pressing.

Step 06
Sieving and grading
Screens remove sand, stones and excess fibre, and grade the coir by particle size.

Step 07
Compression
Hydraulic presses form blocks, bricks, discs, slabs and grow bags, compressed about 5 to 1 for efficient shipping.

Step 08
Quality testing
Samples are checked for EC, pH, moisture and expansion before the order is packed.

Step 09
Packing and loading
Products are wrapped, labelled to your spec, palletised or loose-loaded, and sealed into the container.
