Delivered CIF to Alberta Rail Hubs in 20ft & 40ft Containers.
Zero Distributor Markup
CIF Calgary & Edmonton

Standard coir holds too much water for Zone 3 winters. Our Alberta-Spec substrate is engineered with higher porosity to maintain oxygen levels during low-DLI months.
| Electrical Conductivity (EC) | < 0.5 mS/cm |
| pH (1:1.5) | 5.5 - 6.5 |
| Expansion Ratio | 1 : 15 |

We operate on Incoterms: CIF (Cost, Insurance, Freight). We manage the ocean freight, customs clearance, and the rail transfer from Vancouver.
Avee Cocoseller is not just a trader. As a factory-direct partner, we manufacture to your exact agronomic requirements.
Need higher aeration? We can adjust the Pith-to-Chip ratio (e.g., 60/40 or 50/50) to match your specific irrigation strategy.
We use heat-treatment protocols to ensure every batch is pathogen-free (Salmonella/E. Coli negative) before it enters the container.
Save labor costs. We laser-cut plant holes and drainage slits to match your exact gutter slope and dripper spacing.
A: 1 x 20ft Container. To ensure you get true factory-gate pricing, Avee Cocoseller supplies in full container loads (FCL). A 20ft unit holds approx. 12 Metric Tonnes of compressed coir blocks or grow bags.
A: Yes. We handle the rail transfer to Calgary or Edmonton. From there, we arrange "Last Mile" trucking directly to your greenhouse or nursery, whether you are in Taber, Lacombe, or High River.
A: All Avee Cocoseller products undergo a double-wash and buffering process with Calcium Nitrate. We guarantee an EC of < 0.5 mS/cm and provide lab reports with every shipment to verify purity.
A: Yes. We encourage testing. Contact us to request a sample block or slab. You can test the expansion ratio and pH/EC levels in your own facility before committing to a container.
Select your cultivation method.
Engineered for the intense light levels of Southern Alberta. Our slabs maintain structure during heavy irrigation events, preventing root suffocation in the heat.
Precision drainage cuts to match your gutter slope + UV stabilized plastic (Rated 24 Months).
Alberta indoor cultivation requires zero-risk inputs. Our media is heat-treated (sterile) and washed to < 0.5 EC for precise crop steering.
70/30 High Porosity Blend. Rapid dry-back capability for generative steering.
Combat Alberta's heavy clay soil. Coir acts as a permanent structural amendment, preventing compaction and improving drainage for container stock.
5kg Blocks (High Expansion). 1 Pallet = 16.5 Cubic Meters of expanded soil.
We manufacture to RHP-level specifications. Every batch is traceable, tested, and guaranteed.
Double-washed and buffered with Calcium Nitrate to prevent nutrient lockout.
Maximum compression means you pay less freight per liter of expanded media.
Aged for 6 months to stabilize lignin. Sieved to remove fine dust (< 1mm).
Heat-treated protocols ensure zero weed seeds, nematodes, or pathogens.
When you buy from a local warehouse, you pay for their rent, their staff, and their profit. When you buy from Avee Cocoseller, you pay the Factory Gate Price + Freight. Nothing else.
Coir sitting in a distributor's warehouse for 12 months degrades and turns to dust. We manufacture your order fresh. You get intact pith with maximum air-filled porosity.
Don't settle for "Standard Stock." We can drill custom plant holes, adjust the drainage slit positions, or change the Chip/Pith ratio to match your irrigation strategy perfectly.
"The difference between a good crop and a great crop often starts with the substrate. We give you control over the root zone."
We simplify the import process. You place the order; we manage the global logistics chain until it hits the Alberta rail terminal.
We define your exact specs (Bag size, Blend, Holes). You receive a formal CIF Quote within 24 hours.
Lead Time: 10-14 Days.
Your order is washed, buffered, compressed, and packed fresh at our facility.
Transit: ~40 Days.
We handle ocean freight to Vancouver and the rail transfer to CN/CP Calgary or Edmonton.
Container arrives at the rail hub. We arrange the final truck delivery to your nursery or greenhouse door.
A: We handle the entire "Intermodal" journey. The container ships to the Port of Vancouver, transfers to CN/CP Rail, and arrives at the Conrich (Calgary) or Edmonton terminals. From there, we arrange a chassis truck for the "Last Mile" delivery directly to your farm gate. You just need a forklift to unload.
A: We recommend placing orders at least 10-12 weeks in advance. Alberta winters can cause delays in the rail network through the Rockies. Ordering in Q4 (Nov/Dec) guarantees your product is on the ground and thawed before your first planting date.
A: This is a common concern in Zone 3. For winter crops, we recommend our High Porosity Blend (30-40% Chip content). This structure maintains high oxygen levels in the root zone even when transpiration rates are low due to low DLI (Daily Light Integral), preventing root suffocation.
A: Yes. Many nurseries do this to maximize freight value. We can load the floor with 5kg pallets and top-load with loose bags, or split the container 50/50. This allows you to service both your propagation and production needs in a single shipment.
A: If shipping during Jan/Feb, the outer layers of the pallets may freeze during rail transit. However, because our coir is dried to < 18% moisture content at the factory, it does not freeze into a solid block like peat moss. It typically thaws quickly once inside your heated headhouse.
A: As a Canadian-focused supplier, we can provide Quotes and Invoices in CAD (Canadian Dollars) to simplify your accounting, or USD if you prefer.
Don't wait for spring congestion. Lock in your container allocation and factory pricing today.
A: For new commercial accounts, we typically operate on a 30% Deposit to start production, with the 70% Balance due upon presentation of the Bill of Lading (BL) copy. This ensures your cargo is on the water before final payment.
A: Yes. Every container comes with a batch-specific lab report. If the product arrives with EC levels exceeding our < 0.5 mS/cm guarantee, we will replace the defective stock or provide a credit adjustment.
A: We operate as a Direct-to-Farm supplier to keep costs low. While we do not have a public showroom, we can arrange for a sales representative to visit your facility in Alberta with samples.
A: Yes. Our CIF pricing includes freight and insurance. We work with dedicated customs brokers to ensure your container clears the Port of Vancouver smoothly and transfers to the rail line without you dealing with the paperwork.
