         - Uniqueness and competiveness of the product

                        Many decades ago, desiccated coconut was manually produced at low cost of equipment investment.  The quality like moisture, color and flavor, however, was unstable because of depending mainly on workers; especially no assurance of microbiological standard can be made since the product is frequent in contact with workers hands. For this good reason, desiccated coconut has encountered barriers to penetrating into export market.

                       In order to have stable product quality of which can meet the standard of food safety and hygiene, long-life storage, etc. the producer must equip with advanced technology of production line which to be constant and close from to output.

                       In this view, the company has imported advanced equipment for desiccated coconut producing operated by automatic vibratory fluid bed dryer. This technology helps to ensure product quality, to be microbiologically-free, economic in fuel, production cost and enhance the competiveness at domestic and export market. Today, TRABACOs desiccated coconut is supplied stably to many markets such as South America (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, etc), Europe (France, England, Netherlands, etc), and Middle East (Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon, etc).
