Coconut shell charcoal is a valuable commodity produced from coconut shells. South East Asia is the leading producer and supplier of coconut shell charcoal. Coconut Shell Charcoal is manufactured by carbonizing raw coconut shells in a limited supply of air. Economical and eco-friendly, coconut shell charcoal is one of the cleanest and most favored sources of developing activated carbon. Whereas other materials such as wood, coal, or other carbon-based sources are also suitable charcoal sources, the quality of coconut shell charcoal is far superior to others.The odorless and non-toxic characteristic qualities of coconut shell charcoal make it a widely used deodorizers and decolorizers in the air conditioning industry, cosmetic industry and water purification plants.Also widely used to make activated carbon for the cosmetics industry, teeth whitening, etc. MOQ 20MT Supplied from India, Vietnam, Indonesia and Sri Lanka.

In the market, there are two types of cocopeat (Low Ec and High EC). Supplied from Vietnam, India, or Indonesia.
Iron ores are rocks and minerals from which metallic iron can be economically extracted. The ores are usually rich in iron oxides and vary in color from dark grey, bright yellow, or deep purple to rusty red. The iron is usually found in the form of Mangnetie (Fe3O4, 72.4% Fe) hematite (Fe2O3 69.9%) goethite ((FeO(OH), 62.9% Fe) Limonite (FeO(OH) n(H2O) 55% Fe) siderite (FeCO3, 48.2%, Fe) Ores containing very high quantities of hematite or magnetite, typically greater than about 60% iron, are known as natural ore or direct shipping ore, and can be fed directly into iron-marking blast furnaces. Iron ore is the raw material used to make pig iron which is one of the main raw materials to make steel 98% of the mined iron ore is used to make steel. In 2011 the Finacial Times quoted Christopher LaFemina, mining analyst at Barclays Capital, saying that iron ore is " More integral to the global economy than any other commodity except perhaps oil".

The jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) also known as the jack tree, is a species of tree in the fig, mulberry and breadfruit family (Moraceae). The jackfruit tree is well-suited to tropical lowlands and widely cultivated throughout tropical regions of the world including India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and the rainforest of the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia and Australia. It bears the largest fruit of all trees, reaching as much as 55 Kg (120 Pounds) in weight, 90 cm (35 inches) in length and 50 cm (20 inches) in diameter. A mature jackfruit tree produces some 200 fruits per year with older trees bearing up to 500 fruits in a year. The jackfruit is multiple fruit composed of hundreds to thousands of individual flowers, and the fleshy petals of the unripe fruit are eaten. The ripe fruit is sweet (depending on variety) and is commonly used in desserts. Canned green jackfruit has a mild taste and meat-like texture that lends itself to being called "vegetable meat". Jackfruit is commonly used in South and Southeast Asian cuisines. Both ripe and unripe fruits are consumed. It is available internationally, canned or frozen and in chilled meals as are various products derived from the fruit, such as noodles and chips. MOQ 10MT Supplied from Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia or India.
Himalayan salt is mined from the Salt Range mountains, the southern edge of a fold-and-thrust belt that underlies the Pothohar Plateau south of the Himalayas in Pakistan. Himalayan salt comes from a thick layer of Ediacaran to early Cambrian evaporites of the Salt Range Formation. This geological formation consists of crystalline halite intercalated with potash salts, overlain by gypsiferous marl and inter-layered with beds of gypsum and dolomite with infrequent seams of oil shale that accumulated between 600 and 540 million years ago. These strata and the overlying Cambrian to Eocene sedimentary rocks were thrust southward over younger sedimentary rocks, and eroded to create the Salt Range. The salt, which often has a pinkish tint due to trace minerals, is primarily used as a food additive to replace refined table salt but is also used for cooking and food presentation, decorative lamps and spa treatments. Himalayan salt is a table salt. Analysis of a range of Khewra salt samples showed them to be between 96% and 99% sodium chloride, with trace presence of calcium, iron, zinc, chromium, magnesium, and sulphate, all at varying safe levels below 1%. MOQ 5MT Supplied from Pakistan.

Bauxite is a naturally occurring, heterogeneous material composed primarily of one or more aluminum hydroxide minerals, plus various mixtures of silica, iron oxide, titania, aluminosilicate, and other impurities in minor or trace amounts. Bauxites are typically classified according to their intended commercial application:� � abrasive, cement, chemical, metallurgical, refractory, etc. The bulk of world bauxite production (approximately 85%) is used as feed for the manufacture of alumina via a wet chemical caustic leach method commonly known as the Bayer process.

Icumsa 45 sugar, known today as white sugar, is one of the most sought after by sugar importers worldwide, due to its purity and brightness. The term ICUMSA is an acronym called the International Commission for Uniform Methods of Sugar Analysis, or the International Commission for Uniform Methods of Sugar Analysis in free translation. As the highest quality sugar available on the market today, ICUMSA 45 sugar has a sparkling white color and is highly refined, suitable for human consumption and use in a wide range of food products. Due to 99.8% sucrose in its composition, Icumsa sugar has a high purity and can be stored for up to 2 years. Other types of white sugar include ICUMSA 100 and ICUMSA 150, refined white sugars that lack the clear sparkling appearance of ICUMSA 45, but which are nonetheless still safe for human consumption. MOQ 25,000MT Supplied from Brazil
Known as brown sugar, Icumsa 600-1200 is 100% raw refined and is produced after the first crystallization of sugar cane. This sugar is thicker than white sugar, known as Icumsa 45, and its color is brownish. Raw brown sugar from sugar cane, when fully refined, contains about 70% white sugar. Light brown sugar, sometimes known as Demerara sugar or raw cane sugar, is often used in sauces and in most baked goods. It is a partially processed sugar that retains more of the molasses naturally present. Dark brown sugar has a deeper color and stronger molasses flavor than light brown sugar - the rich, full flavor makes it ideal for gingerbread, beans, barbecue and other full flavored foods. The crystals are slightly thicker and stickier than normal brown sugar, giving that sugar a sandy texture. MOQ 12,500MT Supplied from Brazil

Charcoal briquette is a kind of fuel made by charcoal powder. Compared with traditional fuels, charcoal briquettes can not only generate heat continuously but also produce no smoke and odor during combustion. Therefore, it has been widely used in domestic and industrial applications in recent years and has become the most popular fuel in many countries. Charcoal is the product of incomplete combustion of wood or wood raw materials or pyrolysis under the condition of air isolation. The charcoal is then powdered to shape them into briquettes to cater to different industries. The sawdust charcoal briquettes ignite quicker, burn with a higher heat and can burn longer than coconut shell briquettes. MOQ 24MT Supplied from India, Indonesia, Vietnam Paraguay and Egypt.
Field Corn, also known as cow corn is a North American term for maize (Zea mays) grown for livestock fodder (silage and meal), ethanol, cereal and processed food product. The principal field corn varieties are dent corn. A flint incudes blue corn (Zea mays amylacea) and waxy corn. Field corn is primarily grown for livestock feed and ethanol production is allowed to mature fully before being shelled off the cob and being stored in silos, pits, bins, or grain "flats". Field corn can also be harvested as high-moisture corn, shelled off the cob and piled and packed like silage for fermentation; or the entire plant may be chopped while still very high in moisture, with the resulting silage either loaded and packed in plastic bags, piled and packed in pits, or blown into and stored in vertical silos. People may pick ears of field corn when its sugar content has peaked and cook it on the cob or eat it raw. Ears of field corn picked and consumed in this manner are commonly called sweet corn, or "roasting ears" due to the most commonly used method of cooking them. MOQ 12,500MT Supplied from Brazil, Argentina, USA or Paraguay.
