Carbonized rice husk supplier, Indonesia

Sekam bakar. Rice husk carbonized to a black, friable medium — light, alkaline, and slow to break down.
PT WAN Ulangi Abadi

What it is

Rice husk is the hard outer shell left behind when paddy is milled. Burned slowly in a low-oxygen kiln it turns into sekam bakar — carbonized rice husk: a black, brittle, highly porous material that weighs almost nothing and takes years to break down. Growers use it to open up heavy soil, to lighten a potting mix without holding water the way peat does, and as a dry, absorbent bedding in poultry and livestock houses. Because carbonizing drives off the acids, it comes out alkaline at pH 8.5 to 9.5 and carries potassium and silica with it.

What the price includes

There are no prices on this page on purpose: commodity and freight rates move week to week, and a figure printed here would be wrong within a month. What does not move is who pays for what.

What moves the price

Which is why there is no price list. Several of these are yours to set, and they are where a lower number usually comes from.
Specification — washed low-EC material costs more than unwashed, and grade and screen size move with it
Packing — compressed blocks, briquettes, bags, and bulk do not cost the same to make or to load
Volume and continuity — a repeat contract prices better than a single container
Destination port, and which Incoterm you ask us to quote
Season and raw-material availability
Ocean freight rates, which move on their own and are outside anyone's control here

Quality control

Every container is checked against the specification written into your contract before it is sealed — not after it arrives.
Pre-shipment inspection against the agreed specification, on every container
Photographic report of the goods and of loading, sent before the vessel sails
Third-party laboratory analysis of EC, pH, and moisture on request
