    NATURE HAS ANSWERS

    ORGANIC COCONUT PRODUCTS


    Cirandas organic coconut products are widely used in the food and body-care industries. To best serve our customers, we focus on the things that matter most providing a high-quality product while contributing to a healthy sustainable environment and Fair Trade practices that effectively enhance the livelihood of local farmers.

    S U S TA I N A B I L I T Y & FA I R T R A D E P R AC T I C E S
    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.

    COCONUT PRODUCTION & PROCESSING


    Harvested continuously throughout the year, up to 40 coconuts per tree are productionready every 45 to 50 days. Farmers hand-select and cut each mature coconut with a long-handled knife, de-husk each coconut to expose its smooth outer shell and then quickly transport the harvested nuts to a nearby production facility.

    COCONUT PRODUCTION & PROCESSING


    At the production facility, the coconuts outer hard brown shell is machine-cracked and the inner brown skin is peeled, the coconut water is drained and collected, and the white coconut meat is retrieved. To produce E X T R A V I R G I N C O C O N U T O I L ( E V C O ) , the meat is sanitized, shredded, dried and then expeller-pressed to extract the oil. The oil is then filtered and packaged without added preservatives.

    R B D C O C O N U T O I L begins by thoroughly drying the open coconut halves and


    coconut parings to produce dried copra, which is then scooped out of the shells and collected. Copra is loaded into expeller presses to extract the oil. To achieve proper color and neutral flavor, oil is steamed and filtered multiple times before packaging. To produce C O C O N U T M I L K and C O C O N U T C R E A M , first-run processing de-husking, de-shelling/peeling, draining, sanitizing, shredding and pressing the fresh coconut meat yields coconut cream with a fat content of 28% or more. To standardize coconut milk, water or coconut water is added to the first press coconut milk to manufacture a milk with a fat content of approximately 18%. Fat content may be adjusted by adding or subtracting coconut oil.

    C O C O N U T F L O U R is produced from the meat of organic coconuts after it has been


    pressed to produce organic coconut oil. Once oil has been extracted, the remaining press cake is dried and ground into coconut flour, inspected and packaged.

    D E S I C C A T E D C O C O N U T is produced from sanitized, white coconut meat that is


    dried and shredded to desired fineness fine, medium and chip (large).
