A journey of dedication and unwavering commitment to excellence

From the day that The Coconut Cooperative was formed, our unwavering commitment has been to deliver sustainable, high-quality organic coconut ingredients. We take pride in sourcing all our organic coconut ingredients locally and sustainably from Sri Lanka, Indonesia, and Vietnam.
Reflecting on our journey, The Coconut Cooperative has remained steadfast in promoting sustainable ingredients for the benefit of our clients and their customers. Our mission, dating back to 2014, has centered around collaborating with farmers to uphold ethical, fair trade, and high-quality practices.
Championing sustainability and transparency

Sustainability and transparency in farming practices have always been the cornerstone of our fair trade coconut operations.
As a company, we are committed to promoting sustainability in our organic coconut ingredients. We believe in making responsible choices that prioritize both people and the planet.
The Coconut Cooperative’s certifications

All our products are USDA Organic, Star K Kosher, QAI, and Fair Trade USA certified. These certifications serve as a testament to our commitment to providing the finest organic coconut ingredients.
Fair Trade Certification

Fair trade is a “global movement made up of a diverse network of producers, companies, consumers, advocates, and organizations putting people and planet first”. The Coconut Cooperative aligns its commitment to what the Fair Trade USA believes — making the right choice.
Achieving Fair Trade Certification is a rigorous process that reflects our dedication to sustainable practices. This certification ensures that our business maintains safe working conditions, promotes environmental protection, supports sustainable livelihoods, and contributes to community development.
USDA Organic Certification
The USDA Organic aims to “promote agriculture production that better nourishes Americans while also helping feed others throughout the world; and to preserve our Nation’s natural resources through conservation, restored forests, improved watersheds, and healthy private working lands”.
The USDA Organic certification underscores our commitment to promoting agriculture production that not only nourishes but preserves natural resources. It assures consumers that our products meet stringent organic standards.
Star K Kosher Certification

Our Star K Kosher certification broadens the accessibility of our products to various dietary preferences and religious observances. This certification is a testament to our commitment to meeting the diverse needs of consumers worldwide.
Furthermore, this means that our products “appeal to the Islamic world, vegetarians, Seventh Day Adventists, and others, who look for a Kosher symbol on the foods they purchase”.
Star K Kosher and QAI has an alliance to “help companies provide high-quality kosher certified organic products, in a more efficient and cost-effective manner,” said STAR-K President Dr. Avrom Pollak.
