BASFOOD and Organic Coconut Farmers

BASFOOD and organic coconut farmers select and prepare coconut plantation land far from urban areas. The choice of location for this organic coconut plantation took careful consideration regarding the air and water quality of the coconut plantation. They believe that choosing a plantation location that has clean air will improve the quality of the coconut trees. A water source that is clean and free from chemical contamination will extend the productivity of coconut trees. Because good quality water will produce high-quality, clear, and abundant coconut flower juice (coconut sap). This is because coconut sap is the only important type of organic coconut sugar raw material. If the quality of coconut sap is poor, it will produce coconut sugar that is not of good quality.

With increased organic knowledge provided by Control Union, BASFOOD educates farmers about the importance of organics. BASFOOD carries out CSR activities for organic coconut farmers to maintain the organicity of plantation land. Apart from that, the organicity of coconut trees is maintained by not using chemicals as fertilizer. The use of natural water as a water source for watering coconut trees has also been carried out. The organic application of BASFOOD coconut sugar products continues through the harvesting process, sugar making, packaging, and delivery. All processes are carried out by the Control Union’s organizational rules, which end with the creation of a Transaction Certificate (TC).

CV. Bonafide Anugerah Sentosa has thought of big steps to maintain the organicity of its coconut sugar. So that consumer confidence in their organic coconut sugar is maintained.
