Zairla Charcoal Indonesia – Indonesia has long been known as the waving coconut country. That means, there are so many coconut trees thriving in our country. Indonesia has the potential to become the world’s number one producer of coconut, especially its derivative products. Coconuts have so many benefits for human life. Apart from its water which has many health benefits, the shell also has high economic value. One of them becomes charcoal, which Indonesian Coconut Shell Charcoal has Global Quality.
Coconut shells, which are the raw material for charcoal briquettes, are often thrown away. In fact, coconut shells can be used as raw materials to be processed into charcoal, which can still be reprocessed into innovative products that can provide added value.
Indonesian coconut charcoal briquettes have great export potential. One factor is that the quality of Indonesian coconut briquettes is considered the best by the international market. Coconut shell charcoal briquettes are an alternative fuel that is often used for cooking, especially for roasting food ingredients such as in Europe, in Middle Eastern countries it is used for smoking shisha pipes, while in Asia such as in South Korea and Japan coconut charcoal briquettes are used for cooking purposes in restaurants, because Indonesian coconut shell charcoal briquette products can produce greater heat compared to coal briquettes or charcoal from mangrove plant materials. In addition, coconut shell charcoal briquettes are also safer and more environmentally friendly, as they do not damage plants such as mangroves and do not cause smoke. Moreover, the issue of global warming is very sensitive.
With a large export market opportunity, it means that the need for coconut shell raw materials will also be greater. This opportunity should be captured by small and medium enterprises to utilize coconut shells. Coconut charcoal briquettes are the only market where demand is higher than supply, i.e. there is a lot of demand that cannot be met due to limited raw materials.
In the future, to prevent scarcity and ensure the availability of raw materials for coconut shells, it is necessary to sell in the form of processed products, in order to provide more value and maintain the sustainability of Indonesia’s natural resources for the long term. Even in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic that has hit the whole world today, hopefully it will not dampen the enthusiasm of Indonesian entrepreneurs to penetrate the export market.
