🇳🇱 🇱🇰 Sri Lankan Cocopeat Companies Visit European Substrate Knowledge Centre
• Strategic Expansion: A delegation of Sri Lankan cocopeat and coir companies visited the RHP Knowledge Centre in the Netherlands on June 12, 2026. The initiative aims to align Sri Lankan exports with European quality standards, market requirements, and sector innovations. • Industry Stakeholders: The local delegation comprised key players including NB Coir, Marisha Coco Products, Green Space International, Eco Films, and Cocopeat Lanka. • Quality & Certification: RHP is the leading European knowledge centre for growing media, managing the critical RHP and RAG quality marks. Meeting these standards is essential for cocopeat products entering European markets, particularly the Netherlands. • Economic Impact: Access to RHP's laboratory and research into buffering treatment techniques—which improve coir performance and plant nutrition—is expected to drive value addition, enhance product competitiveness, and strengthen Sri Lanka's position in the global substrate industry.
