Cocopeat & coco chips — India wholesale.
Buyers sourcing cocopeat blocks from India, coco chips for hydroponics, and compressed grow media for retail private label need consistent expansion volumes and fibre grades. Blossom Valley supports merchant-export programmes for cocopeat bricks, larger blocks, discs, and chip blends suited to terrace gardening, nursery propagation, and controlled-environment agriculture.

What the cocopeat programme delivers
Predictable medium — from retail brick to programme block.
Buyers ask three questions: how does it expand, what's the EC, and can the documentation reach my plant-health authority? We answer all three at quoting.
Low-EC, buffered, washed
Document the grade your end-use needs — we only quote what the agronomy can defend.
Predictable expansion
650g bricks → ~7–8 L · 5kg blocks → ~60–75 L. Specs confirmed per SKU at quoting.
Retail to bulk formats
100mm discs, 650g retail bricks, 5kg programme blocks, and chip bricks — one desk.
Peat-free, biodegradable
Coconut-husk origin replaces sphagnum peat without compromise on water retention.
Featured cocopeat SKUs
Four representative SR-series grow-media SKUs.
From a retail HDPE-bagged block (SR-18) to low-EC programme blocks (SR-21), retail bricks (SR-22), and coco-chip bricks (SR-23).
Procurement notes
Talking points for procurement teams.
Share target EC band, expansion ratio expectations, and whether you require grow bags, shrink wrap, or pallet patterns. If you sell into markets with strict plant-health import rules, surface those early so documentation can be threaded into the quote.
Coco chips behave differently from peat — better drainage, slower compaction, and ideal for orchids, blueberries, and chunk-loving epiphytes. We will recommend the blend when the end-use is shared honestly during briefing.

Brief the desk
What to attach to a first cocopeat RFQ.
Compressed media programmes hinge on three numbers and one geography — share them and a first quote can land within a business day.
EC band & wash level
Target EC (mS/cm), washed / semi-washed / unwashed, and whether buffering is required.
Format & volume
650g bricks, 5kg blocks, discs, chip bricks — and the annual forecast band per format.
Plant-health rules
Destination country phyto / fumigation requirements so paperwork accompanies the first shipment.

Frequently asked questions
What does 'low EC' cocopeat mean for importers?
Electrical conductivity (EC) tracks salt content after washing. Lower EC grades suit sensitive seedlings, hydroponic crops, and propagation; standard EC grades suit hardier ornamental and retail use. We document the grade quoted so your agronomy team can compare like-for-like across mills.
Can cocopeat blocks and coco chips ship in the same container discussion?
Often yes, subject to weight, cube, and moisture rules. List both SKU families with target marks (e.g. 5kg blocks + 650g bricks + chip bricks) and we propose a load plan that balances weight, dunnage, and palletisation.
Do you supply retail-sized bricks for garden centre shelves?
Yes — 650g bricks and 100mm discs are designed for retail. Confirm barcode requirements, language for the wrapper, and any seasonal artwork in your RFQ so production runs match planogram dates.
What is the expansion ratio for compressed cocopeat?
Most 650g bricks expand into 7–8 litres of usable medium, and 5kg blocks expand to 60–75 litres depending on compression and washing. We confirm the exact expansion band against the SKU you quote at the RFQ stage.
Where do cocopeat SKUs appear in the catalogue?
Cocopeat blocks, bricks, discs, and chips appear under the SR-prefix codes (SR-18 through SR-23) inside the main coir catalogue, alongside pots and baskets.
How do I move from a trial brick to a full container programme?
Start with the brick or block format your retail or growing team needs to validate, then forecast monthly volume — we transition from LCL trial to single- or multi-FCL programmes once the buffer / EC / washing combination is locked.
