Cocopeat / Coco Coir Pith.
Indonesia Export Grade · Horticulture · Hydroponics · Commercial
Product Overview
Cocopeat, also known as coco coir pith or coco peat, is a natural growing medium derived from the fibrous pith between the husk fibers of the coconut shell. It is a byproduct of the coir fiber industry and is processed, dried, and compressed for export into blocks, bales, or grow bag formats.
Cocopeat is used in professional horticulture, hydroponics, greenhouse cultivation, commercial nurseries, propagation, and growing media blending. Buyers commonly select cocopeat because of its water retention, drainage balance, re-wettability, and compatibility with controlled nutrient delivery systems.
Coreterra acts as a structured B2B trading and export coordination partner — aligning cocopeat format, EC/pH requirement, packaging, documentation, and export terms with buyer crop and destination requirements.
Available Formats
5kg Compressed Blocks
The 5kg compressed block is a common format for container export. When hydrated, compressed cocopeat expands significantly, allowing efficient container shipping and rehydration at destination. This format is commonly used by horticultural distributors, greenhouse operators, and growing media blenders.
Loose Bales
Loose bale format is available for buyers processing or blending cocopeat at destination. Bale size, bale weight, moisture target, and loading configuration are aligned during quotation.
Grow Bag Formats
Grow bags are available upon buyer requirement for greenhouse and hydroponic applications. Bag dimension, slab volume, drainage hole format, wrapping, and labeling are confirmed during supply alignment.
Format availability, compression ratio, packaging configuration, and container loading plan are confirmed in the formal quotation.
Quality Parameters
Core Quality Parameters
- Electrical Conductivity (EC): confirmed per buyer requirement and COA
- pH Value: confirmed per buyer requirement and COA
- Moisture Content: confirmed per buyer requirement and COA
- Coir Particle Size: confirmed per buyer requirement and COA
Low EC / Washed Options
Washed cocopeat with reduced EC is available for crops sensitive to high electrical conductivity, including lettuce, herbs, strawberries, and selected ornamental varieties. Washing reduces naturally occurring potassium and sodium salts that can interfere with nutrient uptake.
Buffered Options
Buffered cocopeat pre-treated with calcium and magnesium is available for buyers requiring direct use in drip, NFT, or ebb-and-flood hydroponic systems. Buffering helps reduce cation exchange issues when the substrate first contacts nutrient solution.
Specific EC, pH, moisture, and particle values are confirmed in the formal quotation and shipment-specific COA. Parameters are aligned to buyer crop requirements during quotation.
Recommended Applications
Greenhouse Horticulture
For tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, strawberries, cut flowers, and potted ornamentals in controlled growing systems.
Hydroponics
Low EC washed and buffered cocopeat for drip irrigation, NFT, and ebb-and-flood systems requiring stable substrate performance.
Commercial Nurseries & Propagation
For seedling propagation, seedling plug cultivation, transplant substrates, and nursery mixes.
Growing Media Distribution
For distributors re-packing or blending cocopeat with perlite, bark, compost, or other growing media amendments.
Quality & COA Documentation
Shipment-specific Certificate of Analysis is arranged before loading for confirmed orders. COA parameters may include EC, pH, moisture, particle composition, and other buyer-relevant quality values based on the selected cocopeat format and destination requirement.
Reference specification documentation may be available during the quotation stage upon request. Final values are confirmed in the formal quotation and shipment-specific COA before loading.
Export Terms
Standard export terms include FOB from Indonesia. CIF and CFR to buyer-specified destination ports are available upon request.
Standard payment terms include T/T with advance payment and balance before shipment. Letter of Credit at sight may be considered. All terms are confirmed in the formal quotation and Proforma Invoice.
Documentation Available Upon Request
Export documentation is prepared based on buyer destination, product type, and formal order requirements. The standard documentation package may include:
- Commercial Invoice (CI)
- Packing List (PL)
- Certificate of Origin (COO)
- Certificate of Analysis (COA) — shipment-specific
- MSDS / Safety Data Sheet
- Proforma Invoice (PI)
- Phytosanitary Certificate — where required by destination country
- Fumigation Certificate — where required by destination country
- Additional destination-specific documentation based on buyer import requirements
Document availability is confirmed during the formal quotation. Specific certification requirements should be stated in the initial inquiry.
