Why Dutch Plantin?
Dutch Plantin is both a producer and a supplier, which is exceptional in the world of coco products. Dutch Plantin has fifteen modern production sites in The Netherlands, Asia, Africa, and directly supplies products to growers across the globe.
By controlling the entire production process Dutch Plantin is able to guarantee consistent quality and reliable delivery. Growers all over the world have become convinced of the unprecedented value and quality of this coco substrate.
Aged vs Fresh Coco
Coco must be ‘aged’ to boost its stability.
Dutch Plantin strictly monitors raw material production and maintains a clean environment, producing a product that is stable, consistent, and free of pests and weeds without the need for steaming.
Indian vs Sri Lankan Coco
Dutch Plantin processes coco pith harvested from coconuts grown in regions of India located far from the sea.
Monsoons in these areas produce large amounts of rain which lowers the content of sodium, potassium, and chloride in the soil. The resulting raw materials for Dutch Plantin coco are significantly lower in these harmful salts compared to coconut husk harvested in coastal Sri Lanka.
Compared to Indian Coco, growers often find coco from Sri Lanka to be less reliable as a horticultural substrate.
