Regenerative Agriculture
farming practice:
Agroforestry
We know the importance of cultivating a symbiotic relationship. That’s why we plant crops like cacao and mango near our coconut trees to increase coconut fruit yields by up to 50%.
We also plant Australian peanut shrubs to prevent weeds from growing that would otherwise suck out the life in our coconut trees.
Placing coconut husks near the trees acts as a fertilizer and gives snakes a place to live. The snakes help protect our trees by eating pests.
farming practice:
Biodiversity
By using naturally growing, fruit producing trees & bushes we eliminate the need to clear land, which in turn promotes biodiversity! This allows for all species natural to the environment to continue to thrive. We don’t introduce foreign non-native species to the area either, which again supports biodiversity.
Our farming partners own land in the middle of natural jungles. By allowing us to plant cacao, mango and Australian Peanut next to the coconut palm trees, farmers are seeing up to a 50% greater yield in the output of coconuts per tree as well as a coconut that is on average, 20% larger.
Our farmers avoid the use of synthetic chemicals, pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers which in turn preserves the biodiversity of local areas, increases soil fertility, maintains the groundwater quality and health of the local community.
farming practice:
Nitrogen Fixation
We intercrop with cacao, mango and Australian peanuts to provide needed nitrogen to our coconut trees, which results in a more fruitful and healthier tree.
Natural Soil Enrichment
We intercrop coconut trees with nitrogen-fixing plants to naturally enrich the soil and boost plant health.
Chemical-Free Nutrition
Nitrogen derived from natural sources reduces the need for chemical fertilizers, keeping our coconuts pure and safe.

Carbon Sequestration
farming practice:
Crop Rotation
We have no need to rotate crops because we only use naturally growing trees & bushes. We protect present trees and nourish new trees to continue the natural habitat!

Perennial Crops
We have no need to rotate crops because we only use naturally growing trees & bushes. We protect present trees and nourish new trees to continue the natural habitat!
farming practice:
Zero Tilling
Coconut trees are perennial crops; they live year-round for about 50-60 years, and are harvested sometimes daily throughout their life. A single coconut tree can produce up to 100 coconuts per year! Due to their long lifespan and ability to be harvested year-round, coconut trees require less soil disturbance than non-perennials and have a much higher ability to protect soil carbon
Zero Waste – Our Complete Coconut Utilization Process
At Green Laxmi Foods, we follow a true Zero Waste Philosophy where every part of the coconut is used responsibly. The coconut meat is processed to make products like coconut milk, coconut oil, desiccated coconut, and copra. The coconut water is extracted and used in our evaporated coconut water products.
The husks are placed around the coconut trees as natural fertilizer and also provide shelter for snakes, which help control harmful pests. Coconut shells are burned in large furnaces to create biofuel, which powers our manufacturing facilities.
Every layer of the coconut is reused—ensuring sustainability, eco-friendly production, and a greener future.
