Frequently Asked Procurement Questions
What is the difference between Low-EC and High-EC Coco Peat?
Unwashed High-EC coco peat naturally contains ocean or brackish salt residues (EC > 1.5–2.0 mS/cm) and is primarily utilized for animal bedding, oil spill absorbents, or general mulching. Washed Low-EC coco peat undergoes extensive washing in fresh water to leach out sodium and potassium salts until electrical conductivity drops below 0.5–0.8 mS/cm, making it an exceptional, safe growing substrate for commercial greenhouses, hydroponics, soft fruits, and nurseries.
What expansion yield can commercial hydroponic growers expect?
A premium 5kg block expands to approximately 75 to 80 liters of reconstituted substrate when hydrated with water (yielding approximately 15 liters per kilogram). The material expands rapidly with high air-filled porosity and superior water-holding capacity.
How are 5kg coco peat blocks packed for containerized ocean transport?
Standard commercial export packaging is palletized: blocks are stacked onto heat-treated wooden or plastic pallets (approximately 200–220 blocks per pallet), secured with corner protectors, and wrapped in heavy-gauge stretch film. A 40ft High Cube container accommodates 20 to 24 pallets, yielding 22 to 25 Metric Tons.
What phytosanitary and biosecurity documentation accompanies shipments?
All coco peat consignments are certified free from soil, live weeds, nematodes, and plant pathogens. Each shipment is issued an official government Phytosanitary Certificate and certified Methyl Bromide or Phosphine Fumigation Certificate satisfying stringent US USDA, Australian DAFF, and European import biosecurity rules.
