Buy cocopeat (coco peat), coco coir and cocofiber directly from Filipino producers on FarmyHub. Cocopeat is a soil conditioner and growing medium made from coconut husk (bunot ng niyog): it holds water, keeps potting mixes loose and is used for seedlings, potted plants and hydroponics.
As of November 2026, 2 sellers list cocopeat here, from ₱4 to about ₱8.67 per kilo: 15 kg sacks from General Luna, Quezon, and 1-tonne lots from Quezon City.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Bacong Ibaba, General Luna, Quezon | ₱130 per 15 kg sack | ₱8.67 | 200 sacks (3,000 kg, ₱26,000) | 800 sacks (12,000 kg) | ||

Prices are the sellers' own, as listed on FarmyHub on November 6, 2026. Cocopeat is sold by the sack, in bulk by the tonne, or pressed into blocks, so compare the price per kilo. In short: about ₱4 to ₱8.67 per kilo, with the cheapest price for tonne lots.
All three come from the husk of the coconut. Sellers use the names loosely, so check the photos and ask what you are getting.

Cocofiber (coco fiber, coir fiber) | The long, strong fibers of the husk | Ropes, mats and nets for slopes and erosion control, hanging basket liners, brushes, mattress padding | Yes, 1 listing (cocopeat and cocofiber) |
Coco chips | Small chunks of husk | Orchids and other plants that need an airy mix | Not yet |
Cocopeat blocks (bricks) | Cocopeat pressed into blocks so it is easier to ship and store; it expands when soaked | The same as loose cocopeat | Not yet |
Cocopeat improves how soil holds water and air, but it adds almost no nutrients, so it is usually mixed with compost, vermicast or fertilizer. These are the other materials buyers compare it with.

Moisten it first. Blocks need soaking to expand, and loose cocopeat works best when it is damp before mixing.
Rinse it if it is not sold washed. Cocopeat can contain salt, which young plants don't like. Ask the seller whether it is washed.
Mix it for pots and beds. Combine it with garden soil and compost or vermicast, because it holds water but has almost no nutrients.
Feed plants grown in pure cocopeat. In seedling trays and hydroponics, plants need fertilizer or a nutrient solution.
Cocopeat, also written coco peat, is the fine, spongy material from coconut husks after the long fibers are removed. It holds a lot of water and stays loose, so it is used as a growing medium and soil conditioner for seedlings, pots and hydroponics.
Mostly, yes. "Coco coir" is the general name for coconut husk material, and when it is sold for plants it usually means cocopeat. Cocofiber is the long-fiber part, and coco chips are chunks. Compared with peat moss, cocopeat is renewable and less acidic, while peat moss is imported.
Cocopeat is a soil conditioner, also called a soil amendment: it improves water holding and air in the soil but adds almost no nutrients. Use it together with a fertilizer, compost or vermicast. See Organic Fertilizers for vermicast and other organic fertilizers.
