Cocopeat also known as 'coir fiber pith' or 'coir dust' is a natural and renewable resource produced from coconut husks by the coconut industries in Sri Lanka , India & Indonesia.

Cocopeat is the 'coir fiber pith' or 'coir dust' produced as a bi-product when coconut husks are processed for the extraction of the long fibers from the husk. Cocopeat is the binding material that comes from the fiber fraction of the coconut husk.

The coir dust is washed, heat treated, screened and graded before being processed into various Cocopeat products for Horticultural and Agricultural applications. Cocopeat was first introduced into English horticulture as a growing medium more than 135 years ago.

Cocopeat is a multi-purpose soil conditioner and growing medium. It is consistent and uniform in texture. It is a completely homogenous material composed of millions of capillary micro-sponges that absorb and hold up to eight times its own weight in water. The natural pH of 5.7 to 6.5, plus an unusually high Cation Exchange Capacity - and 27% of Easily Available Water assures that coir will hold and release nutrients in solution over extended periods without rewatering.
