A de Coco: Freshness Redefined, From Harvest to Market in Just 7 Days

From Farm to Table in Just Seven Days: A de Coco’s Commitment to Freshness and Sustainability

Since its inception in 1949, A de Coco has steadily grown into one of the most recognized coconut product manufacturers. As a subsidiary of Coco Colima, the largest coconut producer in Mexico, A de Coco has deep roots in Mexican agriculture.

Over the decades, it has secured its place among the top three plant-based brands in Latin America, offering a wide range of coconut-based products, from fresh coconuts to organic coconut oils and beverages.

Building on this strong foundation, A de Coco has managed to seamlessly bridge its rich agricultural heritage with robust logistics and market reach in the United States, which it has now expanded to.

The company’s production and operations are strategically positioned just 12 hours from the U.S. border. This proximity allows for efficient distribution while maintaining a commitment to freshness and sustainability.

What truly sets A de Coco apart is its vertically integrated operations. From the moment the coconuts are planted to when they are harvested, processed, and distributed, A de Coco oversees every step. This full integration ensures the utmost quality control and freshness, particularly notable in their young fresh coconut products.

While many competitors take 40 to 60 days to bring coconuts from farms to store shelves, A de Coco accomplishes this in as low as seven days, an impressive feat that underscores their dedication to delivering the freshest products possible.

Certified by FSSC22000 and SMETA, the company also demonstrates a strong commitment to social responsibility. Through their HOPE initiative, they have made a significant impact by empowering over 1,800 farming families in Mexico. This reinforces their dedication not only to quality but also to the people who help make the brand what it is today.

One of the standout features of A de Coco’s offerings is their Green Dwarf Coconut variety. Originally from Brazil, this variety is now carefully nurtured in their Mexican farms and is prized for its balance of sweetness, pulp quality, and water content.

For consumers in search of fresh and natural hydration, this coconut offers a distinctively rich flavor and a generous amount of coconut water. A de Coco’s emphasis on freshness is evident in their “harvest-to-market” timeline, ensuring consumers receive products with unparalleled quality in a matter of days.

In addition to their signature coconuts, their product line is diverse, offering organic and conventional brown coconuts, organic virgin coconut oil, coconut water, coconut chips, and even specialty items like coconut flour and sugar.

This variety caters to the growing demand for plant-based, natural products, ensuring that A de Coco has something for every consumer, whether they’re looking for a refreshing beverage, a healthy snack, or cooking essentials.

In today’s competitive market for natural and organic products, A de Coco stands out not just for its rapid distribution timeline but also for its commitment to maintaining the purity and nutritional benefits of its offerings. Their coconut water, a favorite among health-conscious consumers, is free from added sugars or preservatives, making it an excellent source of natural hydration. With its low calorie content and rich electrolyte profile, A de Coco’s coconut water is a top choice for those seeking a refreshing, guilt-free drink.

Moreover, what makes A de Coco’s products particularly appealing is their impressive shelf life. The young coconuts remain fresh for up to 90 days when stored at the correct temperature. This extended freshness offers an advantage over many competitors, whose products often have to endure longer transit times and, as a result, have a shorter lifespan on store shelves.

As A de Coco continues to grow, they show no signs of slowing down. The brand’s commitment to delivering fresh, high-quality coconut products while supporting sustainable farming practices positions them well for future growth, particularly in a market that values transparency, ethical sourcing, and natural products. Their ability to blend tradition with innovation ensures that A de Coco remains a trusted name in households across North America.
