All coconuts are freshly sourced direct from local farms, then processed for shipping in net sacks which are then shipped in either 20ft or 40ft shipping containers direct to the buyer. Each net sack contains a maximum amount of sixty (60) coconuts. These coconuts can be random sizes or graded according to a specific size as requested by the buyer.
We can provide up to 4 x forty foot containers with bulk charcoal. The coals have been carbonized slowly and are free of volatiles and burns steady. We have two grades. Since our operational is sustainable, we use offcuts from the many wood sawmills abound and graded the bags from genuine lumps to off cuts. They both burn great. The wood is mostly top quality Walaba wood.
Depending on the weight of each bag, we can fit between 900-1000, 40-45 pound bags in a 40 foot container. Approximately 20 tonnes of charcoal per container.
