description Coir Overview
Coir is a natural fiber obtained from the outer husk of the coconut, the fruit of coconut palms. The fiber is processed into yarn, rope, mats, brushes, geotextiles, and other products, with brown coir generally coming from mature coconuts and lighter white coir from less mature husks. India and Sri Lanka are major producing regions, and coir is valued for its durability, low density, and resistance to saltwater.
