In 2004, our founder Jacob Thundil was relaxing on a beach in Brazil sipping a coconut when he came up with the idea to bottle coconut water. He was contemplating a new start-up and given his passion for coconuts, starting was easy! Jacob was born in Kerala. Kerala in Sanskrit means ‘land of coconut trees’. He grew up enjoying coconuts so it was natural for him to start Cocofina. The journey began when he set out to find the best tasting coconuts! His discovery of a special species of coconuts created history. His goal was to provide the finest of the finest coconuts for his customers. Cocofina received its first Excellence in Food and Drink Award in 2005 where the judges rightly said, people who want healthy food and drinks will go for Cocofina.Cocofina is now sold in 3,000 speciality and healthy outlets in the UK and 28 countries worldwide. With over 10 years’ experience, we know our coconuts and select only the finest for our customers. Our focus on taste is reflected in the quality of our coconuts.

With sustainability as our cornerstone, we founded Agri Exim to bridge the gap between industrious farmers and customers seeking the very best in organic & natural produce. We’ve been able to do that and so much more – from meeting and exceeding our customers’ expectations to supporting our farmers at the grassroots level.Agri Exim was founded in 2015 in an age when going organic & natural was still more of a luxury than a lifestyle. Our main goal – which remains true today – was to make quality organic & natural ingredients more accessible to global customers, while making our credible farmers economically secure and productive. We recognized that there were so many farmers in communities who had the potential to offer high-quality products, but no way to scale or market them. We armed them with the necessary education and the tools, so they could realize their full potential and their vision.
