Coco peat, also known as coir pith or coir dust, is a byproduct derived from the processing of coconut husks. It is a natural and sustainable alternative to traditional peat moss, widely used in horticulture, gardening, and agriculture for its excellent water retention and nutrient-holding properties.

Coco peat is produced by extracting the fibers from coconut husks and then processing the remaining material, which consists of the spongy, fibrous part of the husk. The processing involves washing, drying, and grinding the coir to produce a fine, granular substance.?
