Cococara's Innovative Blueberry Coco Chips

Cococara LLC, headquartered in Chuo-ku, Tokyo, has proudly announced the launch of its latest product: Blueberry Coco Chips. This innovative product is designed specifically for the isolation cultivation of blueberries, addressing the growing demand for sustainability in agriculture.

Tailored Coco Chips for Optimal Blueberry Growth

The Blueberry Coco Chips are a unique mixture of coconut chips, coir peat, and fibers, optimally sized between 10mm to 15mm. This precise sizing enhances drainage for blueberry cultivation, allowing the chips to absorb moisture effectively while preventing root rot. The result is an ideal growing environment that encourages healthy root expansion.

Background of Development

With its own factory located in South India, Cococara has been committed to developing coir products tailored to various crops. The launch of the Blueberry Coco Chips comes in response to requests from blueberry producers who have previously relied on a mixture of sponge and peat moss. Even more, users can rest assured that these chips are not classified as industrial waste, making disposal after use a breeze.

Product Highlights

1. Enhanced Drainage for Blueberry Cultivation
The Blueberry Coco Chips are crafted to provide optimal drainage for fruit trees. The unique combination of size and materials ensures that nutrient solutions do not linger, maintaining stable Electrical Conductivity (EC) levels and pH balance. This is crucial to avoid root rot, providing a healthy growing medium.

2. Supports Root Area Expansion
Unlike materials that do not absorb water, which can restrict root area, the Coco Chips balance water retention to allow roots to grow more freely and expand into the growing medium.

3. Easy pH Adjustment
Coco Chips can be easily adjusted to achieve the perfect pH for blueberry cultivation by simply mixing them with sulfur, making cultivation straightforward for growers.

4. Simplified Disposal
Thank to their non-industrial waste classification, the Coco Chips can be effortlessly disposed of after use, even being mixed into the soil.

Feedback from Berry Producers

Cococara's Blueberry Coco Chips have already been introduced to several berry farms, with positive feedback highlighting the balance of moisture retention and drainage.

Bluemate Farm, located in Chiba Prefecture, expressed satisfaction with the product's performance. Drawing from their experience in Australia, they began using the Blueberry Coco Chips for isolated, pot-based blueberry cultivation in 2024. In discussions with farm leaders Hiroko Kina and Takuya Yahagi, they shared insights on why they chose these chips and their remarkable experience with them. They mentioned the following benefits:

• - Balanced Drainage and Retention: The chips allow for improved drainage, reducing concerns about root rot while maintaining adequate moisture levels.
• - Manageable Growing Medium: The chips’ texture prevents the growing medium from becoming compact, making it easier for roots to grow.
• - Agronomic Advantages: The soft texture of the growing medium makes weed removal effortless, demonstrating significant improvements in maintenance tasks compared to peat moss alone.
