Our story begins in 1996, with our founder, late Nihal Hettiarachchi and his beloved wife, now the current Chairperson of Serendib Green (Private) Limited of Sri Lanka, Dr. Sahida (Swarna) Hettiarachchi, starting their first manufacturing plant in the heart of the Coconut Triangle in Sri Lanka in collaboration with DIA Corporation of Japan. Ever since, Serendib Green has grown as a leading manufacturer and exporter of high quality, organic coconut husk based growing media solutions for professional growers around the world – from amateur gardeners to commercial greenhouses. With years of experience in the field of horticulture, Serendib Green has expanded its product range and has been continuously improving to meet the demands of its various customers in Asia and Middle East, predominantly from the markets in Japan, Israel, and Kuwait.
GoldenPeat® is our brand of Coco Peat, carefully selected and manufactured using the pith found between the fibres that gets washed, sun-dried, sieved to remove large particles, and graded at our facilities. Although coco peat is a popular product because it is environmentally friendly and sustainable, it can be hard to source quality coco peat products as it is dependent upon the processes used as well as the area where the coconuts are grown.
GoldenPeat® comes from the Coconut Triangle in Sri Lanka, where the best coconut crops are produced and is perfect for producing healthy food, beautiful flowers, and plants by improving agricultural practices, increasing crop yield, improving soil health, and reducing water consumption.
