BLUEBERRY GROWING REINVENTED WITH COCOGREEN® SOLUTIONS

Growers prefer Cocogreen coconut coir substrates for their ability to produce healthier and more flavorful fruits. The BerryFusion products offered by the company, formulated for the production of berries, come in various formats that can be adapted to the individual needs of each client.

Producers also achieve visual uniformity and better plant health, saving them more time and money to invest in other areas of their farm management.
