Kerala farmer ecosystem
Empowering farmers from training to market.
Cokoon connects cultivation learning, raw materials, collection support, value addition, and marketing into one practical mushroom ecosystem.
About
A Kerala mushroom ecosystem for farmer empowerment and value creation.
Cokoon is built around a practical idea: farmers need training, inputs, technical guidance, collection support, processing, branding, and market access to create lasting value.
Brand story
Cokoon brings together mushroom cultivation training, farmer support, value-added products, food testing, processing, packaging, and marketing under one connected system. The goal is to make mushroom farming more approachable for growers while making mushroom-based food products easier for consumers and buyers to access.
Why mushrooms
Mushrooms can be cultivated in compact spaces, converted into many food formats, and connected to local nutrition needs. They create opportunities for farmers, women entrepreneurs, producer groups, kitchens, and food businesses.
Ownership and cooperative initiative
Cokoon is powered by Vescoops Food Processing Pvt Ltd.
Vescoops Food Processing Pvt Ltd is the owner of the Cokoon brand, ecosystem systems, value-added product development, and manufacturing facilities.
