For producers & suppliers

Sell your uling bagol to a buyer who explains the price.

PHLDA buys coconut shell charcoal from charcoal makers, local producers and suppliers in Panabo, Carmen, Tagum, Digos and Kidapawan. We tell you how your charcoal is graded, what the price is based on, and how you get paid, before you deliver.

What we buy

Products we purchase

Subject to current buyer requirements and specifications.

  • SRC (based on the buyer's current specifications)
  • 2×8 mesh coconut shell charcoal
  • Raw dry coconut shell charcoal
  • Other agreed charcoal grades and sizes
  • Coconut shell charcoal powder and dust, subject to demand

Who we buy from

Small or regular supply, both welcome

Whether you have a few sacks available now or produce every week, message us. We welcome suppliers who want to build a consistent, long-term business relationship.

Better quality can mean a better price. Dry, clean, properly cooked charcoal at the right mesh size is worth more to buyers, and we price it that way.

How your charcoal is graded

Every delivery is assessed against the agreed specifications. This is what we check:

Moisture content

Class A is 10% or below, Class B is 15% or below. Wet charcoal is the most common reason a batch is down-graded.

Mesh size & classification

Whether the charcoal fits SRC, 2×8 mesh or another agreed size, and how much fine dust or powder is mixed in.

Clean & fully cooked

No stones or foreign materials, and no uncooked or under-carbonized pieces.

Batch consistency

Whether the whole delivery matches the photos and the agreed grade, not just the top of the sack.

Step by step

How selling to PHLDA works

  1. 1

    Initial inquiry

    Send your name and location, charcoal grade, estimated kilograms or metric tons, moisture condition, photos or videos of the stock, and your expected delivery date.

  2. 2

    Product evaluation

    We discuss the condition and quality of your charcoal and whether it matches current buyer requirements.

  3. 3

    Price quotation

    We propose a buying price based on grade, quality, quantity, location and prevailing market conditions.

  4. 4

    Agreement & scheduling

    Once we agree on price, quantity, delivery and payment terms, we schedule the transaction.

  5. 5

    Weighing & inspection

    On delivery or pickup, the charcoal is weighed and checked against the agreed specs. Any discrepancy is discussed openly before we finalize.

  6. 6

    Payment

    You are paid according to the agreed terms. Cash on pickup or cash on delivery may be available when arranged in advance.

Why suppliers work with PHLDA

Fair evaluation of quality

Charcoal grades differ. We assess each batch against agreed specs instead of treating every batch the same.

Clear price discussions

The buying price and terms are discussed before delivery whenever possible.

Payment agreed in advance

Your trust matters. Payment is coordinated exactly as confirmed.

Repeat transactions

Consistent suppliers get consistent business and grow alongside us.

Supplier questions

Do you pick up, or do I deliver?

Both are possible depending on your location, volume and the agreed price. Pickup or delivery is confirmed as part of the agreement, before scheduling.

What if my charcoal does not meet the grade at weighing?

We show you what we found and discuss it with you before the transaction is finalized. Nothing is changed silently.

Can I get a cash advance?

Any cash advance or special payment arrangement must be agreed and confirmed before production or delivery.

I am outside the five service areas. Can I still sell?

Possibly. It depends on your quantity, transport arrangements and current demand. Send your location and estimated volume and we will tell you honestly.

Do you buy charcoal powder or dust?

Yes, when there is current demand and it meets the specifications. Ask us before producing or bagging large amounts.

Do you have uling bagol ready to sell?

Send your location, grade, estimated volume, photos and delivery date. We will reply with a price basis.
