You are assured of good germination compared to soil.
There is much improved root development and reduces incidences of transplanting shock.
Crops grown from germination trays mature faster as they quickly establish once transplanted
Uniform harvesting as compared to those raised directly in the soil.
They can easily be transported with zero damage.

We pride ourselves by being the leading cocopeat supplier in Kenya for specialized plantings, mainly for raising seedlings and flower production.
It’s a natural material produced from coconut husks.
Advantages of cocopeat as a growing medium for seedlings:
Coco peat is highly porous. This keeps the medium well aerated and loose for better root growth
Has good water holding capacity ensuring there is no overwatering or underwatering of your seedlings
High porosity, high water holding capacity and high cation exchange capacity together mean that the quantity of coco peat required per plant can be very less.
It is easy to transport cocopeat because it can easily be compressed
Cocopeat provides a great environment for root beneficial fungi and bacteria to grow.
The fact that it has zero nutrients means you can easily formulate various quantities required for your seedlings.
It is disease and pest free compared to soil.
Note that cocopeat has to be treated first by socking in a solution of calcium nitrate to reduce sodium levels which causes root scorching.
Available packs:
