Coco peat is slowly becoming an important factor to be inculcated in farming, especially in the places which face scarcity of water for the irrigation purpose. We all know that coco peat’s ability to hold the soil and water is beyond average peat and that is why it is being used all over the world. There are a number of firms which provides coco peat in various countries by importing it from the various tropical countries, and at a reasonable price too, amongst which Boyce is one of the leading firms.
Like every other product, there is a problem with the coco peat too, one of the major problems being that the fluctuation in prices throughout the year. While the cost is at minimum during the summer time, it reaches the peak value during the rainy season. This variation in the cost is a major reason that why farmers are still afraid to use it as they are poor, and they know the problems they would need to face and they don’t wish to rely upon something they can’t afford anytime they want.
With this problem surrounding, Boyce has come up with a technique to control the prices of coco peat even during the monsoon period which ranges during the month of August-September in the Indian sub-continent. Boyce uses some of the advanced technologies to reduce the price and keep it as low as possible for a better marketing purpose. On average spending USD 235 for low electrical conductivity materials has helped them in rejuvenating their market even when other companies are just waiting for the customers.
We all know the coco peat is made from coir pith which grows near the water. The semi permeable membrane has to first pass the sea water which is doesn’t contain free sodium and calcium ion, for the proper growth. By using a material with low electrical conductivity, this problem is solved with ease and has helped Boyce to save their market. Boyce also uses some other methods too that has helped them in the process. Boyce has tie up with the coconut growers in South India, around in 4-5 states. They buy coco peat from them when the price is comparatively low during the summers and then sell them off during this monsoon period which serves them a good platform to save some of the additional bucks.
Though it seems to be an easy process, but storing coco peat is usually an expensive affair which Boyce has handled superbly. This reduction in price during the monsoon month would surely make farmers to take an additional step in using coco peat as they could be relaxed about using it all around the year. With this step Boyce has certainly been able to gain the trust of the farmers who now prefer the firm even when the coco peat is available in plenty with the other firms too. Coco peat is now slowly becoming an important part of modern farming.
