Raw Material
Tanamina Cocopeat is produced from selected coconut husks sourced from Padang Pariaman, West Sumatra, one of Indonesia’s major coconut-producing regions. The raw material is carefully processed through natural and controlled methods without chemical additives to ensure consistent quality and suitability for agricultural and horticultural applications.

Coconut Husk Aging Process
Natural EC Reduction
Before processing, the coconut husks undergo a natural aging process for approximately 1–3 months in an open area with proper drainage and airflow. During this period, the husks are naturally exposed to rainwater, sunlight, humidity, and oxygen, allowing excess salts such as sodium (Na), potassium (K), and chloride (Cl) to gradually leach out.
Scientifically, the intact porous structure of the coconut husk enables more effective natural leaching and biological oxidation compared to aging after becoming cocopeat powder. This process also helps reduce tannins and phenolic compounds while stabilizing the raw material naturally.
The husks are turned periodically to ensure even exposure and airflow. As a result, Tanamina produces lower and more stable EC cocopeat with reduced washing requirements, better fiber quality, and a more environmentally responsible production process.
Hygiene Control
Cocopeat is washed repeatedly with clean water in large washing tanks to further reduce EC levels, remove excess tannins, and eliminate fine dust. This step enables Tanamina to achieve very low EC specifications required by modern horticulture.
Factory Water Quality (EC Control)
The factory uses groundwater sourced from deep drilling with a stable EC level of 78–82 µS/cm. (approximately 0.078–0.082 mS/cm), indicating a low level of dissolved salts and making it highly suitable for the cocopeat washing process.
With this relatively low EC characteristic, the well water effectively supports the reduction of salt content during the washing stage of cocopeat production. For final laboratory testing, RO water is used to ensure accurate EC measurement. The combination of lowEC well water for washing and RO water for testing enables Tanamina to consistently achieve cocopeat that meets low EC standards required by professional horticultural markets.
Uncompromising quality control
At Tanamina, every product undergoes strict and consistent quality control at each stage of the process from raw material selection to final packaging to ensure cleanliness, uniformity, safety, and performance that meet international horticultural standards.
Regenerative agriculture
Melon Cultivation Supported by Tanamina
Tanamina supports melon cultivation by providing high quality growing media that promote healthy root development, balanced moisture retention, and efficient nutrient availability. Using Tanamina Cocopeat and Tanamina NutriGold, melon plants benefit from improved aeration, consistent water supply, and a favorable growing environment, resulting in stronger growth, better fruit quality, and higher productivity. Through sustainable and natural solutions, Tanamina helps farmers achieve optimal performance in modern melon cultivation.
