Import Coconut Fiber — Buy in Bulk from Supplier in Colombia

Coconut fiber from Guecal Vivero Colombiano S.A.S. consists of natural coir extracted from coconut husks, delivered in golden brown strands with lengths between 10 and 30 cm. The material is pre-processed to achieve a maximum moisture content of 12% and a minimum impurity level of 2%, ensuring consistency for industrial and agricultural applications. This fiber originates from Colombia, a region known for high-yield coconut cultivation and efficient processing of coir for export markets.

The fiber’s coarse texture and high lignin content provide structural integrity, making it suitable for horticulture substrates, erosion control mats, and as a reinforcing agent in composite materials. Typical industry specifications for coir include a fiber diameter of 0.1 to 0.5 mm, a tensile strength of 100 to 200 MPa, and a pH range of 5.5 to 6.8, which are standard for untreated natural fibers. Its natural resistance to saltwater and microbial degradation extends its lifespan in outdoor environments.

Primary buyers include agricultural cooperatives, landscaping contractors, and manufacturers of eco-friendly textiles and brushes. The fiber is commonly shipped in compressed bales, with trade terms often negotiated as FOB or CIF from Colombian ports such as Buenaventura. Buyers should confirm packaging density, bale dimensions, and moisture retention guarantees, as these directly impact handling and performance in end applications.

Guecal Vivero Colombiano S.A.S. operates from Barrio La Florida, Manzana 7 Casa 17 in San Andres De Tumaco, Nariño, Colombia. The company is registered as an imported-tier supplier with a harbor trust tier, indicating a baseline level of verification for international trade. Its address places it in a coastal region with direct access to coconut farming and processing infrastructure, supporting efficient sourcing and logistics for coir exports.

The supplier’s profile does not list a verified response rate or average response time, so buyers should expect to confirm availability and lead times directly. No additional certifications, production capacity, or client references are provided in the listing, so these details must be requested during inquiries. The company’s focus appears to be on raw and pre-processed coconut fiber, with no evidence of value-added treatments or proprietary processing methods.
