- Uniqueness competiveness of the product
Many decades ago, desiccated coconut was manually produced at low cost of equipment investment. The quality like moisture, colflavor, however, was unstable because of depending mainly on workers; especially no assurance of microbiological standard can be made since the product is frequent in contact with workers’ hands. Fthis good reason, desiccated coconut has encountered barriers to penetrating into export market.
In order to have stable product quality of which can meet the standard of food safety hygiene, long-life storage, etc. the producer must equip with advanced technology of production line which to be constant close from input to output.
In this view, the company has imported advanced equipment fdesiccated coconut producing operated by automatic vibratory fluid bed dryer. This technology helps to ensure product quality, to be microbiologically-free, economic in fuel, production cost enhance the competiveness at domestic export market.
