KCC Coco

Healthy roots are the key to healthy plants

Coconut fiber is one of the most popular growing media in the world. It is also the first totally organic growing medium that offers top performance in hydroponic systems.

One of the key advantages of coco is its ability to maintain a larger oxygen capacity while having a superior water holding ability. This is a real advantage for hydroponic systems that have intermittent watering cycles.

Coconut husk is processed into coco coir, husk chips and fibre, which become 5 kg blocks, husk chip blocks and twine
From coconut husk to growing media: coco coir becomes 5 kg blocks, husk chips become husk chip blocks, and fibre becomes twine.

Our quality statement

At KCC we are always committed to providing our valued customers with high quality products which meet or exceed their growing requirements.

Quality control & assurance

All KCC Coco products are organic, environmentally friendly and 100% renewable.

Our affiliated manufacturing facility in Sri Lanka only uses coconut husks from inland coconut plantations, which contain less salt (sodium and chloride ions). The husks are repeatedly washed with fresh water to reduce the electrical conductivity (EC), then the coir is machine dried before manufacturing. Our manufacturer follows every industry accepted quality control method to make sure the coco peat we receive in Canada is quarantine safe.

Advantages of KCC Coco
