Coir & preparation
Washing or buffering?
A low EC result and a buffering treatment answer different questions. Confirm both on the product specification before deciding how to prepare your cocopeat.

How do I compare cocopeat quotations fairly?
Compare the same deliverable, not just the lowest number on a price sheet. Different treatments and packing can explain a price difference.

Why the root zone matters
A tonne of one coir grade may not provide the same usable growing volume as another.
01 / OBSERVE
Three checks before you change anything
- Align product treatment, grade, moisture basis and usable expansion expectations.
- Separate product, packing, inland movement, freight and other quoted charges.
- Confirm currency, quotation validity, quantity and which services are included.
02 / NARROW IT DOWN
Why do the prices differ?
Choose the closest observation for a suggested next check.
Different grades
Ask for a second quotation against one shared specification before comparing.
Different delivery scope
Create a side-by-side inclusion list and request the missing costs from each supplier.
Apparently identical offers
Compare representative trial results, consistency and service commitments alongside price.
03 / TAKE THE NEXT STEP
Leave with something useful
Build a comparison using agreed quantities and scope, with uncertain items visibly marked.
Keep in mind
Do not describe the lowest unit price as the lowest cost until the quantity and delivery basis match.
