Coco Coir Uses & Market
Demand
• Coco coir, a durable fiber extracted from
discarded coconut husks, is now widely
used as basic material in making nets,
rolls, and mats as protective covers for
soils and slopes.
• It is becoming popular in USA and
countries in Southeast Asia.
• Coco coir is preferred over concrete bricks
and peat moss because it is cheaper,
renewable, and completely organic.
