About Eco Coco International

Born in Madampe.
Raised on tradition.

A decade ago, two founders set out from a single drying yard in Kuliyapitiya with a quiet conviction: that Sri Lankan coir could be world-class — not commodity. Today, Eco Coco International ships to thirty-plus countries, and we still hand-check every container before it leaves the port.

Traditional Sri Lankan coir craft — hand-spun, sun-dried

Mission

To transform Sri Lanka's coconut husk — a humble agricultural byproduct — into refined growing substrates and clean-burning fuel that professional growers and restaurants choose without compromise.

Vision

To be the most trusted coconut-products exporter from South Asia — synonymous with consistency, paperwork, and the kind of partnership that lasts more than one purchase order.

Values

Craft over volume. Documentation as a default. Zero-waste production. Quiet partnership over loud sales. Five continents, one standard.

From husk to harbour

The process,
in six chapters.

Every container of Eco Coco product passes through six steps inside our Madampe facility. Each step is documented, each batch is sample-tested, each shipment is traceable.

Sourcing

Coconut husks sourced from a 40-km radius of partner smallholder farms across the Kuliyapitiya belt. Same coconut belt, same families, since 2016.

Decortication

Husks are mechanically defibred — coir fibre is separated from pith. The fibre goes to mats and rope; the pith becomes our growing media.

Washing & Buffering

Pith is washed with low-EC water to reduce salts, then calcium-buffered. EC and pH are tested in-lab — every batch, no exceptions.

Drying

Sun-dried for 14–18 days on covered yards. Moisture content is brought below 20% — the spec European glasshouse buyers ask for.

Pressing & Packing

Compressed into 5kg blocks, grow bags or open slabs. Labelled, palletised, certified, sealed.

Export

FCL & LCL from Colombo to thirty-plus destinations. Our export desk handles documentation, fumigation and door-to-door coordination.

Sustainability

Zero waste.
By design.

The same coconut that fed Eco Coco growing media powers Eco Fire charcoal. The fibre that doesn't become substrate becomes rope, mats or mulch. Nothing on the tree gets thrown away.

Renewable raw material. Coconut husks are an agricultural byproduct — not a forest harvested.
Closed-loop water. Wash water is recirculated and treated on-site.
Solar drying. Sun does most of the energy work in our drying yards.
Local employment. 80% of our team lives within 15km of Madampe.
