What Is Coco Peat? – Premium Coco Coir Growing Media From Vietnam

Coco peat, also known as coco coir or coir pith, is a natural growing medium made from coconut husk fibers. It is widely used worldwide as a sustainable alternative to peat moss and rockwool in agriculture, horticulture, and hydroponics.

At VinaTap Vietnam, coco peat is professionally processed to meet international export standards, ensuring low EC, stable pH, and consistent quality for commercial buyers.

1. What Is Coco Peat Made From?

Coco peat is produced from the inner pith of coconut husks – a by-product of the coconut industry. Instead of being discarded as waste, coconut husks are recycled into a valuable organic substrate.

At the VinaTap Coco Peat Factory, raw coconut husks undergo:

• Multi-stage washing to remove salts and tannins
• Controlled drying at high temperature
• Fine sieving to remove sand and impurities
• EC and pH stabilization

The result is clean, lightweight, and highly porous coco peat suitable for professional farming.

2. Key Properties of Coco Peat

• pH: 5.5 – 6.8 (ideal for most crops)
• EC: Low EC < 0.5 mS/cm (washed option)
• Water holding capacity: Up to 8–10 times its weight
• Aeration: Excellent oxygen flow for healthy roots
• Organic & biodegradable: 100% natural coconut material

Thanks to these properties, coco peat supports faster root development, reduces water stress, and improves nutrient uptake.
