Global Coco Sugar Ships Certified Coconut Products to the USA and Europe

Global Coco Sugar shipping certified coconut products to USA and Europe

Global Coco Sugar has successfully delivered multiple containers of certified coconut products — including organic and conventional coconut sugar — to buyers in the United States and Europe. This shipment marks a significant milestone in GCS’s ongoing global expansion, confirming our position as a reliable, certified supplier capable of meeting the most demanding food safety and regulatory requirements in the world’s most scrutinized import markets.

A Milestone in Our Global Export Journey

The United States and Europe represent two of the most important and challenging markets for any food ingredient supplier. Both require strict compliance across food safety certification, organic documentation, product traceability, and supply chain sustainability.

Successfully delivering to buyers in both regions simultaneously is not simply a commercial achievement — it is a validation of the systems, certifications, and operational discipline that GCS has built over the years.

The European market in particular requires BRCGS Food Safety Grade A certification alongside EU Organic compliance — two of the most demanding standards in the global food ingredient industry. Our article on exporting coconut sugar to Europe details the full regulatory landscape that GCS must navigate for every EU shipment. Every container in this shipment was accompanied by a full documentation package —

Certificate of Analysis from an ISO 17025-accredited laboratory, Organic Transaction Certificate per lot, phytosanitary certificate, and Certificate of Origin. Our complete certifications and company profile are publicly verifiable by any buyer.

Mr. Arsyi Kurniawan, Chief Executive Officer: “A Validation of Our Global Standards”

Mr. Arsyi Kurniawan, Chief Executive Officer of Global Coco Sugar, emphasized the strategic significance of this achievement in the context of GCS’s long-term growth trajectory.

“Exporting to the USA and Europe is the strongest validation of our quality and compliance standards. Both markets have extremely strict regulations — covering food safety, traceability, and sustainability. When our products are accepted there, it demonstrates that our quality has reached a genuinely global standard.” — Arsyi Kurniawan, Chief Executive Officer, Global Coco Sugar

Mr. Arsyi also highlighted why the US and European markets are a strategic priority for GCS above other regions:

“There are a few key reasons we prioritize these markets. First, health awareness in both the USA and Europe is significantly higher — consumers are actively seeking alternative sweeteners and low-processing foods. Coconut sugar fits perfectly into that demand. Second, purchasing power in these markets is high enough to properly value a premium natural product. And third — perhaps most importantly — meeting the food safety standards of the US and Europe is our proof of concept. If we can supply to these markets, we can supply to any market in the world.” — Arsyi Kurniawan, Chief Executive Officer, Global Coco Sugar

Mr. Rifqi Hermawan, Chief Logistics Officer: “Executing with Precision in a Challenging Environment”

Mr. Rifqi Hermawan, Chief Logistics Officer, spoke candidly about the logistics challenges involved in executing this multi-container shipment to two of the world’s most demanding destination markets.

“Shipping to the USA and Europe came with its own set of challenges. Vessel schedules changed frequently, feeder vessel slots were often suddenly full, and freight rates were rising due to the ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. But we adapted. Our team worked through each constraint, and every container was delivered on schedule with complete documentation.” — Rifqi Hermawan, Chief Logistics Officer, Global Coco Sugar

On ensuring product quality from factory to final destination, Mr. Rifqi outlined GCS’s approach:

“Quality consistency starts with the right container. Every container we book must meet food-grade standards — no exceptions. Beyond that, we work closely with each buyer to customize packaging to their exact requirements. And for buyers who need it, we can provide a full range of FTA documentation to support their import process and duty preference eligibility.” — Rifqi Hermawan, Chief Logistics Officer, Global Coco Sugar

What We Shipped: Certified Coconut Products for Demanding Markets

Every container in this shipment carried coconut products certified to the standards that US and European buyers require. GCS holds BRCGS Food Safety Grade A certification — one of the most widely recognized food safety standards under the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) — alongside USDA Organic, EU Organic, Halal MUI, Kosher, and JAS certification.

Each shipment was accompanied by a complete documentation package: Certificate of Analysis (COA) from an ISO 17025-accredited laboratory, Organic Transaction Certificate (TC) per production lot, phytosanitary certificate from the Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture, and Certificate of Origin for trade preference eligibility.

Looking Ahead: Building Long-Term Supply Partnerships

This shipment is not an endpoint — it is the beginning of a deeper commitment to the US and European markets. As Mr. Arsyi noted, GCS is evolving beyond being a coconut sugar producer into a full-service supplier of high-quality coconut derivative products, with a scalable supply chain built for long-term partnerships in the downstream food industry.

Trade Expo Indonesia 2024 : We Conquer The Global Market !

Global Coco Sugar is taking part in Trade Expo Indonesia 2024 again. This is the second year that Global Coco Sugar has participated in the annual event of the largest international trade exhibition in Indonesia. This year, Global Coco Sugar appeared different compared to several other coconut sugar suppliers who opened stands at Trade Expo Indonesia.

Global Coco Sugar at the 2024 Indonesian Trade Expo exhibition this time carries the theme “food safety to the next level”. Because this year we have officially become one of several companies in Indonesia that have BRCGS certification as the basis for our food safety certification.

Food safety itself is an important component, because it is related to the production process, storing goods, until the product leaves the storage warehouse for delivery. We take care of this so that the process complies with international food safety standards. This is the differentiating point between Global Coco Sugar and other coconut sugar companies from Indonesia.

By having BRCGS certification which has been recognized by Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), Global Coco Sugar can guarantee the highest product quality and in accordance with international standards. Besides high food safety standards, our products have also been certified Organic (EU Organic, USDA Organic), Kosher, Halal. This is what makes us, Global Coco Sugar, the best supplier of food products made from coconut derivatives.

Global Coco Sugar’s Participation at Trade Expo Indonesia 2024

Global Coco Sugar‘s participation ensures that we are one of the best suppliers of coconut derivative products. Compared to several other suppliers who opened stands at the 2024 Trade Expo Indonesia event, our company is almost superior in all aspects, including product quality, production capacity, product prices and international certification. This makes us the right partner for your company. Our company also has experience in producing food products from coconut derivatives and distribution to almost all corners of the world.

Trade Expo Indonesia 2024 is the largest international trade exhibition event in Indonesia. At this event there were more than 1500 exhibitors and 47 thousand international visitors from 140 countries in the world.

Potential Market for Coconut Sugar at the 2024 Indonesian Trade Expo

The coconut sugar market continues to develop and move towards “Red Ocean”. This can be seen directly when we see the number of new coconut sugar suppliers opening stands at the 2024 Trade Expo Indonesia event. This is also directly proportional to the demand for coconut sugar in the international market which continues to grow. This is proven by the large number of potential buyers who come from various countries, especially Asia and Africa.

In fact, if we look at the coconut sugar market on a global scale, it is only controlled by Europe and the United States. However, this year the coconut sugar market has begun to expand to South Asia, the Middle East and Africa.

The health trend in this region is growing in a good direction, because in the regional market the importance of health has begun to be established. This is the right momentum to expand the marketing of Coconut Sugar to this region due to the start of a health trend by replacing food sweeteners with ones that are much healthier, and coconut sugar is one of the best options to become a substitute product.

Is Coconut Sugar Really Healthy?

There is a lot of debate about whether coconut sugar is really healthy, some say that coconut sugar is much healthier than table sugar. However, there are also those who say that coconut sugar is the same as sugar in general.

The real answer is that it has been answered in many journals. Many research results in international journals state that coconut sugar is much healthier than table sugar because it has a low glycemic index. The lower the glycemic index, it can be concluded that the food is much healthier if consumed regularly and does not cause a significant increase in sugar levels in the body.

Global Coco Sugar Becoming Best Coconut Sugar Supplier From Indonesia After Acquired BRCGS Certificate

Global Coco Sugar has becoming the best coconut sugar supplier since we are successfully obtained the Brand Reputation through Compliance Global Standard Or previously called British Retail Consortium Food Safety (BRCGS) certificate. This is a big step taken by Global Coco Sugar to establish itself as a large coconut sugar company in Indonesia. BRCGS is a certification recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI). The Global Food Safety Initiative is a private organization that works as a “coalition of action” from the Consumer Goods Forum and brings together retailers and brand owners from across the CGF membership.

BRCGS Food Safety has the same level as FSSC22000, SQF Food Safety, IFS Food Safety, Primus GFS, and Global GAP. All of these certificates are recognized by GFSI, so if you have one certificate that is recognized by GFSI, it can be said that the product is very suitable for consumption and proves that the product is a high quality product.

By having BRCGS Certification which is recognized by GFSI, we can more freely reach the market on an international scale. This also makes it very easy for us to enter all segments, both wholesale, manufacturing and retail sales in supermarkets throughout the world.

Benefits of Sourcing Coconut Palm Sugar Bulk From British Retail Consortium Global Standards Food Safety (BRCGS) Certified Supplier

Sourcing coconut sugar from a supplier with a BRC Food Safety (British Retail Consortium Global Standards Food Safety / Brand Reputation through Compliance Global Standard) certificate offers several benefits:

1. Quality assurance: BRCGS certification ensures the supplier meets high standards for food safety and quality management.

2. Risk mitigation: It reduces the risk of contamination and food safety issues in your supply chain.

3. Regulatory compliance: BRCGS-certified suppliers are more likely to meet international food safety regulations.

4. Traceability: The certification requires robust traceability systems, allowing you to track the product’s journey.

5. Consistency: Certified suppliers are more likely to provide consistent product quality.

10. Global recognition: BRCGS is internationally recognized, which is beneficial if you operate in multiple markets.

Which Country Accepted British Retail Consortium Global Standards Food Safety

BRCGS (Brand Reputation Compliance Global Standards) Food Safety certification is globally recognized. However, the level of recognition and adoption can vary. Here’s an overview of its recognition:

1. United Kingdom: As BRCGS originated in the UK, it’s widely recognized and often required by retailers.

10. India: Growing recognition, especially in the food export sector.

11. South Africa and other African countries: Increasing adoption, particularly for international trade.

It’s important to note that while BRCGS is recognized in these countries, the specific requirements for food safety certification can vary by country and sometimes by individual retailers or importers. Some countries may have their own equivalent standards that are preferred or required alongside BRCGS.

Difference BRC Food Safety Certificate with Other Major Food Safety Certificate

Certainly. Here’s a comparison of BRCGS with other major food safety standards across different regions:

1. Europe:

   – BRCGS is widely accepted alongside IFS (International Featured Standards)

   – FSSC 22000 is also recognized

   – Some countries may have additional local standards (e.g., Germany’s QS System)

2. North America:

   – SQF (Safe Quality Food) is very popular, especially in the US

   – FSSC 22000 and BRCGS are also widely recognized

   – Canada has its own HACCP-based standard called CAN/GFSI

3. Asia:

   – FSSC 22000 is popular in many Asian countries

   – Japan has its own standard called JFS (Japan Food Safety)

   – China has CHINA HACCP, though international standards are gaining traction

4. Australia/New Zealand:

   – SQF originated here and is still popular

   – BRCGS and FSSC 22000 are also widely accepted

5. Latin America:

   – FSSC 22000 is common

   – Some countries have local standards (e.g., Brazil’s NBR 15635)

6. Africa:

   – FSSC 22000 is widely recognized

   – South Africa has the SANS 10330 standard

Key differences:

– BRCGS is often more prescriptive than FSSC 22000

– SQF has a stronger emphasis on quality management alongside food safety

– IFS is similar to BRCGS but more popular in certain European markets

It’s worth noting that all these standards are recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), which helps in their global acceptance.

Global Coco Sugar’s expansion process to Australia is also supported by Trade Attache Indonesia in Canberra as the representative of the Indonesian Ministry of Trade in Australia.

“It is hoped that this Global Coco Sugar expansion can support the Ministry of Trade’s efforts to increase exports of Indonesian products to Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands,” said Mr. Agung Haris Setiawan as head of the Canberra Trade Attache

Mr Haris also said that the Indonesian government continues to be committed to supporting and bridging business actors who want to expand to Australia so that it will expand the market for Indonesian products and directly increase Indonesia’s foreign exchange.

Global Coco Sugar at Pertamina Stage Trade Expo Indonesia

By opening a Global Coco Sugar branch office in Australia, this will also make us more confident when participating in the Trade Expo Indonesia 2024 Exhibition (TEI 2024). Because according to Mr. Rifqi Hermawan’s experience, when Global Coco Sugar participated in the 2023 Trade Expo Indonesia (TEI 2023), many potential buyers from Australia were interested. with our Coconut Sugar, but it is often hampered because prospective buyers do not have import permits. With the Global Coco Sugar branch office in Australia, this will make it easier for potential buyers to reach our products.

By opening a branch office in Melbourne, we have a target to be able to target all potential buyers from various scales, both small scale such as (personal use, organic shop), medium scale (cafe chains, hotels, restaurants, etc.) and large scale (food manufacture, skincare manufacture etc.). So with our representative office in Australia, we can serve all levels of society in Australia so they can experience our high quality coconut sugar products and have many health benefits.

We opened a representative office and warehouse in the Melbourne area, Australia. The reason we chose this location is because Melbourne is an area with quite a large economic turnover. In addition, Melbourne is a fairly developed region so public awareness of adopting a healthy lifestyle has been very well formed.

Apart from that, Melbourne is also an area that has very good people’s purchasing power, so having a warehouse near the city of Melbourne is a strategic step for expanding into Australia.

Our representative office address in Australia is at the following address

6/11 Swift Way, Dandenong South VIC 3175, Australia

Global Coco Sugar succeeded in exporting healthy sugar substitute namely coconut sugar to Russia in a 1x20ft container. This shipment is the beginning of a series of coconut sugar shipments to Russia. Exports to Russia are the first exports for Global Coco Sugar to penetrate the Russian market.

Mr. Arsyi Kurniawan as Chief Executive Operation of Global Coco Sugar also commented regarding the initial export to Russia, Russia is a fairly large market besides the United States and Europe for coconut derivative products. This is due to changes in lifestyle in Russia which currently prioritizes a healthy lifestyle.

He also added that in Russia, diet trends such as the paleo diet and the diet of reducing sugar and replacing it with healthy sugar are starting to become popular. This is an opportunity for coconut sugar products which are much healthier than regular sugar because they have a lower glycemic index.

Mr. Rifqi Hermawan also as chief logistics officer also commented that because this was the first large shipment to Russia, this was quite a challenge because of global issues and several sentiments towards Russia, so several things such as technical delivery were quite a challenge. However Mr. Rifqi Hermawan also added that everything could be overcome with good teamwork and in the end the delivery went smoothly and for the next delivery he was sure there would be no recurrence of technical difficulties with deliveries to Russia.

The Trend of Coconut Sugar In Russia as Healthy Sugar Substitute

Coconut sugar has been gaining popularity as a natural sweetener alternative in many parts of the world due to its perceived health benefits and unique flavor. In recent years, the trend of coconut sugar consumption has been on the rise in Russia as well.

Coconut sugar’s distinct flavor profile has made it a sought-after ingredient in the creation of exotic dishes and desserts, appealing to adventurous food enthusiasts and chefs looking to experiment with new flavors.

Coconut sugar itself has a unique thick caramel taste that can be suitable for anything including food, drink, cake, etc. This is a distinct advantage for the F&B industry in Russia. Because coconut sugar is a versatile product and can be used in all food and beverage products. Apart from that, coconut sugar also provides added value that other natural sweeteners don’t have, namely a low glycemic index.

So by measuring coconut sugar 1:1 with sugar in general, the glycemic index of coconut sugar is much lower and much healthier

The availability of coconut sugar in Russian markets has also played a significant role in its increased consumption. As more health food stores and online retailers offer coconut sugar, consumers have easier access to this product, and marketing efforts promoting its health benefits have further fueled its popularity.

We developed this brand because we want to change the lifestyle of most people who still use white sugar as their sweetener, this can cause diabetes and other diseases if consumed regularly in excessive portions.
Civera.id itself is currently still focusing on the local Indonesian market, we are currently available in popular online shops in Indonesia such as Tokopedia and Shopee. However, it is possible that in the future our brand civera.id will be exported to Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and other countries that have a lifestyle similar to Indonesia.

The response from the public in Indonesia to our new brand is very good, this is proven by the many people who provide positive comments after trying our products. However, there are still many who think that coconut sugar is the same as palm sugar, this is not wrong even though coconut trees and palm trees are still in the same family, namely nucifera but it still come from different trees. If you confused what is the difference among two products you could click here to see coconut sugar vs palm sugar.

However, you need to know that coconut sugar has a lower glycemic index level, namely 35, plus coconut sugar also has a very thick caramel flavor and has a savory taste that palm sugar doesn’t have. So many people are amazed by the unique taste of coconut sugar.

Coconut sugar itself can be used like sugar in general, but it should be noted that coconut sugar is healthier than ordinary white sugar because it has a fairly low glycemic index. So you don’t need to worry about using coconut sugar as a sweetener for food, drinks or cooking. Another unique thing is that coconut sugar can be used as raw material for scrub beauty products, because coconut sugar itself has a texture that is quite smooth on the skin and has beneficial properties for the body if used regularly.

As the world becomes increasingly health-conscious, the demand for natural and healthier alternatives to traditional sweeteners has been on the rise. In Mexico, a country known for its rich culinary heritage, the trend towards healthier eating habits has led to the spotlight on coconut sugar as a sought-after sweetener. Additionally, the broader landscape of healthy food trends in Mexico for 2023 encompasses a wide array of choices that cater to the evolving preferences of consumers.

Based on agriculture.canada.ca data for 2022, the market size for healthy food in Mexico will increase by no less than 96.6 thousand tonnes and it is projected to become 117.1 thousand tonnes in 2026.

Global Coco Sugar, which is supported by the Indonesian Ministry of Trade and the Central Java provincial government, sees that Mexico has the same vision to change eating habits to much healthier foods. Therefore we are trying to change the habits of the Mexican people so that they can taste and have access to healthy food products from Global Coco Sugar.

When we were in Mexico, many Mexicans were not too familiar with the natural sweetener of coconut sugar. Even though coconut sugar is quite popular in the world as a natural sweetener that has a low glycemic index, this does not seem to be the case in Mexico. Mexicans are still not familiar with coconut-derived products, especially coconut sugar products. Many of them are quite interested in our coconut sugar products.

Muhammad Arsyi as CEO of Global Coco Sugar said “We bring our collaborative products such as coffee, cake, milk, biscuits, one of the product ingredients using our product. Many of them are very interested and really like the taste of our products.”

He also said that “We bring our products that prioritize health values and can support a plant based diet. Our superior products such as coconut sugar, virgin coconut oil, and coconut milk are the most attractive products for Mexicans”

Coconut Blossom Sugar: The Sweet Sensation

Coconut sugar, derived from the sap of coconut tree blossoms, has gained considerable attention in recent years due to its potential health benefits and low glycemic index. This natural sweetener has become a popular alternative to refined sugar and artificial sweeteners, aligning with the growing awareness of the negative impacts of excessive sugar consumption. The distinct caramel-like flavor of coconut sugar adds depth to a variety of dishes, making it a versatile choice for both beverages and culinary creations.

The Rise of Coconut Flower Sugar in Mexico

Mexico, known for its abundance of coconuts, has embraced the coconut sugar trend with open arms. As consumers seek healthier alternatives without compromising on taste, coconut sugar has found its way into traditional Mexican recipes, including beverages like horchata and baked goods like conchas. Local producers have recognized the demand and are tapping into the growing market by offering high-quality, locally sourced coconut sugar products.

Best Virgin Coconut Oil Supplier In Mexico

We, as one of the best suppliers of virgin coconut oil from Indonesia, are trying to introduce virgin coconut oil products in Mexico. We are supported by the Indonesian Ministry of Trade and the provincial government of Central Java, Indonesia to penetrate and introduce virgin coconut oil products

One of our superior products that has caught the attention of Mexicans is virgin coconut oil. Virgin coconut oil offers numerous health benefits. Its medium-chain fatty acids support immune function, while antioxidants reduce oxidative stress. It can improve heart health by balancing cholesterol levels and aid weight management through increased metabolic rate. Additionally, it promotes brain function due to ketone production, potentially benefiting conditions like Alzheimer’s. Its moisturizing properties also make it ideal for skin and hair care. While beneficial, it’s calorie-dense, so moderate consumption is advised, especially with preexisting health conditions. Consulting a healthcare professional is recommended before significant dietary changes.

Health-Conscious Consumer Choices

Beyond the realm of sweeteners, the healthy food trends in Mexico for 2023 are diverse and reflective of the nation’s rich food culture. Consumers are increasingly gravitating towards whole foods, plant-based diets, and functional ingredients. The traditional Mexican diet, which often includes staples like beans, avocados, and various chili peppers, aligns with many of these trends. Additionally, there’s a rising interest in incorporating indigenous ingredients and superfoods, such as chia seeds, amaranth, and nopal (cactus), into everyday meals.

Local and Sustainable Sourcing Of Coconut Products

In 2023, sustainability remains a crucial consideration for health-conscious consumers in Mexico. The emphasis on locally sourced ingredients and sustainable practices is driving the demand for products that have a smaller ecological footprint. This trend has led to increased partnerships between local farmers, producers, and retailers, ensuring that fresher and more environmentally friendly options are readily available to consumers.

Innovation and Convenience

The intersection of health and convenience is another notable aspect of the healthy food trends in Mexico. As busy lifestyles continue to be the norm, consumers are looking for options that offer both nutritional value and ease of preparation. This has spurred the growth of pre-packaged, nutritious meal solutions, as well as innovative product offerings that cater to specific dietary needs, such as gluten-free, dairy-free, and allergen-free choices.

Conclusion

Mexico’s culinary landscape is evolving, driven by a desire for healthier alternatives and more conscious eating habits. The coconut sugar trend reflects a broader shift towards natural sweeteners, while the diverse array of healthy food trends in 2023 showcases the country’s commitment to preserving its culinary heritage while embracing modern dietary preferences. As consumers become more informed about the impact of their food choices, the Mexican food industry continues to adapt and innovate to meet their demands for delicious and nutritious options.
