Availability of Coco
Is the availability of Cocopeat unlimited?
This is a topical question which we also recall from the peat industry.
Dutch Plantin can confidently confirm that there will be enough raw materials available for the cocopeat products which are used in the horticultural sector.
Dutch Plantin has conducted a study into the availability of coco which shows there are an estimated 9,600,000 ha of coconut plantations in the world. If we presume that each hectare has 150 palm trees, which yield 75 coconuts each per year, then we will have enough raw materials for nearly 6.5 million tonnes of Cocopeat each year.
However, the availability of enough raw materials doesn’t necessarily mean that there is enough coco available for professional horticulture; because of the strict requirements our products need to meet, not just any production process will do.
That is why Dutch Plantin is proud of its eight production sites, spread over Asia, Africa and the Netherlands, where great care is taken to produce coco products that can safely be used.
