Why choose Indonesia?

• Superior Coconut Quality: Coconuts that grow in Indonesia generally have good quality, with thick coconut flesh and high coconut milk content. This is because caring for coconut plantations is still traditional, with agricultural knowledge that has long existed in Indonesia from the ancestors of the Indonesian people.
• Experience in Coconut Processing: Because superior traditional agricultural knowledge has been passed down from experienced people since ancient times, the quality of coconut products is maintained. Indonesian people have long processed coconuts into various products such as coconut sugar, coconut oil, and desiccated coconut. This experience produces products with guaranteed quality without genetic engineering.
