Coir mats are standard eco-friendly geotextile materials used in soil erosion control projects, slope soil retention, pathways in parks, eco-resorts, trekking trails, soil mulching, plant growth support, and landscape decoration. The East Asian market, especially South Korea, maintains strict technical standards for moisture levels below 15%, mechanical tensile strength, and phytosanitary inspection procedures at both departure and destination ports. Many trading companies struggle when calculating weaving density, fiber thickness, and optimal loading arrangements for coir mat rolls in 40HC containers. Optimizing technical standards and packaging specifications is the decisive factor in lowering freight costs and securing swift maritime customs clearance.
A coir mat is an ecological geotextile material woven from 100% natural coconut fibers, featuring a standard thickness of 35mm, a basis weight of 6500 GSM, and complete biodegradation within 12–36 months. The product is utilized anywhere soil stabilization, erosion control, and landscape decoration are required.
Inspecting thickness and export-standard moisture content before factory dispatch in Ben Tre
Ben Tre is the primary coconut material hub of Vietnam, supplying raw coconut fibers with high lignin content that provide exceptional tensile durability for coir mats. PHUHAOGROUP currently operates 8 manufacturing plants in Mo Cay Nam District (Ben Tre) and is expanding its 9th facility. The representative office located in Ho Chi Minh City manages international trade connections. The enterprise was awarded the Top 100 Outstanding Young Entrepreneurs 2026 and Asia Excellent Brand 2025, maintaining a steady supply of 100 containers per month to South Korea, Japan, and Western markets.
One of PHUHAOGROUP’s manufacturing facilities
The coir mat manufacturing process involves harvesting mature Ben Tre coconut husks, sun-drying to obtain raw fibers, and defibering to eliminate debris. Next, individual fibers are twisted into strong ropes. Finally, they are woven into finished mats by industrial machines or traditional hand-weaving. Upon completion, technicians inspect coir mat quality before rolling and dispatching.
PHUHAOGROUP’s production ecosystem supplies a versatile range of coconut fiber products for infrastructure and agriculture:
Moisture is a critical technical metric for maritime cargo. Coconut fiber has natural hygroscopic properties; if moisture exceeds 15%, fungi will develop during vessel transit. PHUHAOGROUP implements a thermal treatment process combined with natural sun drying on isolated concrete yards. This process regulates the moisture content of coir mats to the standard level of 12% to 14%. The heat treatment process prevents coir mats from developing mold during the 5–7 day journey to South Korean ports.
A 40ft High Cube (40HC) container has a loading volume of 76 m³ and a payload limit of approximately 26.5 metric tons. Calculating exact volume helps maximize the quantity of coir mats loaded inside the container, reducing shipping costs per square meter.
A 35mm thick mat possesses high natural elasticity. PHUHAOGROUP applies a strict compression rolling process to tightly pack each coir mat roll before strapping with heavy-duty PP bands.
| Roll Specification (W x L x T) | Weight / Roll | Packaging Method | Rolls / 40HC Cont | Total Area / 40HC Cont |
| 0.6m x 10m x 35mm | 39 kg | Strapped cylindrical roll | 270 rolls | 1,620 m² |
| 0.8m x 10m x 35mm | 52 kg | Strapped cylindrical roll | 195 rolls | 1,560 m² |
| 1.0m x 10m x 35mm | 65 kg | Strapped cylindrical roll | 165 rolls | 1,650 m² |
| 1.2m x 10m x 35mm | 78 kg | Strapped cylindrical roll | 141 rolls | 1,692 m² |
| 1.5m x 10m x 35mm | 97.5 kg | Strapped cylindrical roll | 113 rolls | 1,695 m² |
| 2.0m x 10m x 35mm | 130 kg | Strapped cylindrical roll | 80 rolls | 1,600 m² |
The compression strapping technique allows each coir mat to save significant stowage volume. After unstrapping at the construction site, the coir mat rolls recover to their designed 35mm thickness within 24 to 48 hours without fiber breakage.
Cargo is transported from the Ben Tre factory to Cat Lai Port (HCMC) by specialized tractor-trailers. The stevedore team ensures safe loading of coir mats into 40HC containers using an interlocking, staggered layout to prevent shifting. Shipments of South Korea coir mats are secured with composite strapping. Weekly scheduled vessels from Cat Lai to Busan, Incheon, and Gwangyang ports take only 5–7 transit days.
Complete manufacturing and packaging process
The heat treatment process prevents coir mats from developing mold during the 5–7 day journey to South Korean ports.
The Plant Quarantine Sub-Department Zone II (HCMC) collects samples from each batch of coir mats at the loading yard or Cat Lai port warehouse. Quarantine officers examine fiber morphology to verify the total absence of harmful insect larvae or dangerous weed seeds.
PHUHAOGROUP provides complete export customs support. Original Phytosanitary Certificates are issued promptly, confirming that the coir mat products meet all requirements for customs clearance at international ports.
Korean plant quarantine regulations strictly require a chemical fumigation process for coir mats using Methyl Bromide (CH₃Br).
| Process Criterion | Mandatory Technical Specification |
| Active Ingredient | Methyl Bromide (CH₃Br) purity ≥ 98% |
| Treatment Dosage | 48g/m³ to 80g/m³ based on ambient temperature |
| Gas Exposure Duration | 24 continuous hours in a sealed container |
| Aeration Time | Minimum 4 hours before applying shipping line seal |
| Certificate Issued | AFAS-standard Fumigation Certificate |
The fumigation process is conducted by licensed agencies, ensuring coir mats meet quarantine standards without live pests during transit.
