Is Indonesian cinnamon the same as the cinnamon sold as "Ceylon cinnamon"?

Is your candlenut sold whole or split, and does it matter which I order?

PT Cenara Centra Commodia supplies candlenut (kemiri) in both Whole and Split form. Whole suits retail/visual applications, while Split is standard (and slightly cheaper) for grinding or oil extraction where kernel shape doesn’t matter.

Is the fresh coconut you export husked or unhusked?

PT Cenara Centra Commodia’s coconut is semi-husked, meaning part of the fibrous husk is retained for protection and easier handling during transit.
