The Philippines, a global leader in organic coconut production, is Cirandas primary source. There, approximately 380 small- scale farmers each with an average of 20 to 22 acres grow and harvest this tree of life using sustainable, organic farming methods. Each farmer cultivates up to 60 coconut trees per acre, with each tree producing up to 200 coconuts per year. Collectively, organic coconut production from our sources could yield about 150,000 metric tons of organic coconuts. All participating farmers are certified organic by QAI, Kosher, and Non-GMO. To maintain ecological balance, farmers often intercrop low-growing legumes, bananas, mangos or other small fruit trees with the 50-foot coconut palms or plant grasslands for cattle grazing. Discarded coconut husks are either returned directly as compost to the palm tress or used to fuel the processing plant, then composted ash is returned to the land as a source of fertilizer. Our Fair Trade practices guarantee coconut farmers a premium price for their products, and provide them with access to quality healthcare and higher education assistance for their children. Strong Fair Trade farm incomes are helping to build a robust and equitable agricultural economy in the region.
