- Currently, the business sources coconut shell charcoal from partner processors that use raw coconut shells supplied by a network of local farmers and collectors.
- The company sells its output on a B2B basis to Indonesian collectors and PT/CV trading companies.
- The business currently has 3 active buyers and 4 active suppliers.
- The three founders collectively manage procurement, production coordination, and business development.
- The planned project involves developing a 1,500 m² integrated coconut processing facility built around a Central Thermal Unit (CTU), featuring a twin-kiln pyrolysis and heat-recovery system.
- The CTU will convert coconut shells into charcoal while recovering heat for copra drying.
- The planned facility is designed to utilize mature coconuts across four primary products: copra, shell charcoal, cocopeat, and cocofiber, with minimal material waste.
- The facility will target domestic collectors and industrial buyers, with potential for future exports.
- Based on the financial projections, post investment, a full year of integrated operations is expected to generate approximately IDR 12.25 billion in revenue, with an estimated IRR of above 60% and a payback period of approximately 1.6 years.
- Future expansion opportunities include downstream products such as virgin coconut oil (VCO), charcoal briquettes, and coconut water concentrate.
- Post-investment, the company will process whole coconuts into four products: copra for VCO and edible oil factories, shell charcoal for briquette manufacturers and industrial fuel users, cocopeat for agricultural and horticultural growing media, and cocofiber for mattress, biofilter, and geotextile manufacturers.
Post-investment tangible assets will include a long-term leased production site and factory buildings in Ampana, a Central Thermal Unit (pyrolysis kiln and heat recovery drying system), dehusking machines, shell and husk separators, cocopeat and coir fiber processing machines, utility systems, pickup vehicles, product warehouses, and office equipment.
Intangible assets include village-level business and domicile certificates (Surat Keterangan Usaha and Surat Keterangan Domisili), an established supplier network of farmers and local collectors in Central Sulawesi, active B2B buyer relationships with domestic collectors and PT/CV trading companies, and documented commercial sales of coconut shell charcoal.
After investment, the company plans to lease a 1,500 m² production site in Ampana and construct an integrated plant including receiving and weighing areas, dehusking and separation lines, twin-kiln CTU pyrolysis unit, copra drying ovens, cocopeat and cocofiber processing lines, warehouses for each product, and separate cooling and packing zones, all arranged for one-direction material flow and 24-hour thermal operation.
There are no bank loans or external debts. Ownership is shared among three partners, each holding approximately 33% equity.
The company is seeking an equity investment of IDR 4.372 billion, with investors ultimately owning approximately 40% of the business and the founders retaining 60% after payback, as per the proposed shareholders' agreement. During the payback period, the founders will draw only operational salaries, and all distributable profits will prioritize the recovery of the investor's capital.
