Palm peat, also referred to as palm short fiber, is a versatile growing media available in the form of pellets or bales. Its remarkable water retention capabilities, excellent breathability and nutrient make it the ideal choice for cultivating mushrooms and vegetable. It’s utilized as a substrate to boost productivity, elevate quality, and enhance the delightful taste of mushrooms.
Currently, palm peat enjoys widespread use in China, Korea, and Japan. This versatile substrate is employed for cultivating mushrooms to get a range of pure, natural, and environmentally friendly green products.
The size of our palm peat is flexible and can be tailored to your requirements, whether you prefer it shorter or longer. Our standard length is approximately 2-3cm, carefully chosen to prevent any blockages when utilizing a screw mixing machine. This ensures smooth blending of palm peat with other substances like PKE or wheat bran, catering to the specific needs of different mushroom varieties. Your seamless mixing experience is our priority.
Palm peat is derived from the empty palm fruit bunches left after the oil extraction process. The production involves steps such as shredding, drying, crushing, compression or pelletization, and packaging. Here’s a simple workflow chart for the production of palm peat:
This straightforward process ensures the transformation of empty fruit bunches into valuable mushroom substrates.
As previously highlighted, we offer two variants of palm peat – palm peat bales and palm peat pellets. Our specialized biomass bagging machine ensures efficient compression and packaging of palm peat, with bale weight of 15kgs. Additionally, our dedicated biomass pelletizer machine is utilized to craft high-quality palm peat pellets, with moisture of 8%. Rest assured, both options are designed to meet your specific needs with utmost precision.
Typically, for sample requests, we recommend pellets due to their convenient handling and cost-effective courier transportation. On the other hand, when it comes to bulk production, bales are often favored for their lower cost benefits. However, the choice ultimately rests with you and your preferences. We’re here to accommodate your needs in the most suitable manner.
Restoring palm peat bales or pellets to loose palm peat is incredibly easy. Simply place the bales or pellets into water, and within just 2 minutes, they will naturally expand and transform into loose palm peat at least six times its original volume. This quick and effortless process allows you to utilize the palm peat in its loose form, ready to be used as a superior growing media for your plants or mushrooms. The convenience of restoring the palm peat makes it a preferred choice for gardeners and cultivators alike.
The palm peat used as a mushroom substrate offers a unique advantage – it can be utilized without the need for fermentation. This time-saving attribute streamlines the cultivation process, allowing you to achieve impressive results more efficiently.
Furthermore, the substrate that remains after harvesting mushrooms doesn’t go to waste. Instead, it serves as a valuable resource. The leftover substrate can be repurposed as a natural and organic fertilizer, enriching the soil and completing a sustainable cycle of growth.

Once the preparing or mixing is complete, the next step is sterilization. This crucial process ensures the elimination of any harmful pathogens or contaminants, creating a sterile environment for the mushrooms to flourish.
After sterilization, the substrate is ready for packaging. Depending on the specific requirements of different mushroom varieties, the substrate can be loaded into bags, bottles, or stacked accordingly. This thoughtful approach ensures that each type of mushroom receives the optimal growing environment for successful cultivation.
(you can package the mushroom substrate first and then proceed sterilization according different mushroom variety or production process)
