Coconut Shell Charcoal Trading · Mindanao
Uling bagol, graded fairly and traded honestly.
PHLDA buys coconut shell charcoal from producers across Davao and Cotabato, checks every batch for moisture, mesh size and cleanliness, and supplies it to buyers who need consistent quality. You know the price basis, the weighing and the payment terms before anything is delivered.
Why PHLDA
Good charcoal deserves a good price. Good business starts with trust.
Graded, not guessed
Every batch is checked against agreed specifications: moisture, mesh size, stones, dust and how well it is cooked. Better quality can qualify for a better price.
Price talked through first
We discuss the buying price and terms before delivery whenever possible, so no one is surprised at the weighing scale.
Payment you can plan on
Cash on pickup, cash on delivery or other terms, agreed before production or delivery and then honored.
Built for repeat business
We would rather build a steady supply partnership with you than do a single transaction and disappear.
Sound familiar?
You have sacks of uling bagol ready, but every buyer quotes differently, the price drops once your charcoal is already on the truck, and payment comes "next week." Or you buy charcoal and half the batch is wet, dusty or full of stones. PHLDA exists to make the trade clear on both sides: agreed grade, agreed price, agreed payment, then a transparent weighing.

More about PHLDAFrequently asked questions

Prices move with the market, so we confirm the current buying price when you message us. Our latest 2×8 mesh references were ₱47/kg for Class A and ₱46/kg for Class B, subject to inspection, quantity and location.
I only have a small amount of charcoal. Will you still buy?
Yes. We welcome small-scale suppliers as well as established producers. Send your estimated kilos and a few photos and we will tell you what is possible.
How is my charcoal graded?
On moisture content, mesh size and classification, foreign materials such as stones, excessive dust or powder, whether it is properly carbonized, and how consistent the batch is. Any discrepancy at weighing is discussed openly before the transaction is finalized.
When and how do I get paid?
Payment follows the terms we agree before delivery. Cash on pickup or cash on delivery may be available when arranged in advance. Any cash advance must also be confirmed before production or delivery.
Can you supply large volumes every month?
We consolidate supply from producers across our service areas. Tell us your target monthly volume, grade and destination, and we will assess what supply arrangement is realistic before committing to it.
Do you export?
Our focus today is local traders, manufacturers and industrial buyers in Mindanao, and we welcome inquiries from potential export buyers. Share your specifications and destination so we can evaluate it properly.
