Why Buy From India?
Coco peat and coir pith sourced from coconut-husk processing units in South India, supplied in block, washed and grow-bag formats for horticultural, greenhouse and commercial growing-media buyers. EC, pH, moisture, expansion volume, compression and fibre content vary by supplier and buyer requirement, and are confirmed directly with the supplying source before order confirmation — figures are not published without that verification.

Commercial Notes
What Buyers Usually Need to Confirm
Lead Time
Confirmed after checking current supplier availability, packing format and destination requirements.

Grade Reference
Grades We Supply
Coco peat and coir pith are supplied across three grades, distinguished primarily by wash/buffer treatment and electrical conductivity (EC) — confirmed against the specific lot before order.
- Low-EC Washed Block
- Washed and buffered compressed block, EC ≤ 0.5 mS/cm — the standard grade for horticulture and greenhouse buyers sensitive to salt content.
- High-EC Unwashed / Raw
- Unwashed raw coco peat, EC roughly 1–3 mS/cm — lower cost, suited to buyers who buffer or blend it themselves before use.
- Coir Pith
- A coarser fibrous byproduct of coir processing, distinct from washed coco peat block — typically used for bulk soil amendment rather than precision growing media.
Buyer Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the HS code for coco peat and coir pith?
- Coco peat and coir pith are classified under HS code 5305.00.40 — the coir-pith-specific line, not the generic 5305.00.90 "other" bucket. Confirm the exact classification with your customs broker for your specific product form.
- What EC and pH should coco peat have for horticultural use?
- A typical range is EC at or below 0.5 mS/cm for low-EC washed grade, with pH between 5.5 and 6.5 and moisture at packing at or below 18%. High EC (salt content) can interfere with nutrient uptake, so for nursery or hydroponic use, ask for the EC value and whether the material has been buffered.
- What is the difference between coco peat and raw coir pith?
- Coir pith is the raw, ungraded bulk form of the same coconut-husk byproduct, with variable particle size and higher salt content. Coco peat is that material washed, buffered, sieved and compressed into a horticulture-grade growing medium.
- What is a typical minimum order for coco peat?
- A full container load is a typical indicative starting point, supplied as shrink-wrapped compressed blocks or bulk bales — coco peat is volume-limited rather than weight-limited, so container yield depends on compression and format.
