We were, we are and we will keep being, upright Honduran pioneers®
We extract every drop of oil, bioenergy and biolubricant from Non GMO palm with the highest levels of purity — using 100% renewable energy across all our processes.
The group
A community of 429 families that turns palm into oil, energy and Honduran pride.
Looking to the future of our founding families, we grow and innovate based on sustainability: extracting every drop of oil, bioenergy and biolubricant from Non GMO palm with responsibility and ethics. Because for GRUPO COINSU, sustainability is not an achievement — it is a duty.

Sustainability
Sustainability is not an achievement, it is a duty.
We produce in a closed loop: what others call waste, we turn into energy, nutrition and life for the plantations.
- 100% renewable energy — our own biogas powers every division of the group.
- Methane capture — we treat effluent in digesters, not in open lagoons.
- Organic ash — potassium from the bunches returns to the plantations as natural fertiliser.
- Palm that does not deplete — responsible oil that respects forests and develops communities.
Testimonials
Voices of our land.
“
We support Europe's decision to ban irresponsible palm oil, because thousands of Honduran families work every day to produce responsible oil that does not destroy forests, respects the environment and develops communities.
Héctor Luis Castro UclésPresident of GRUPO COINSU
“
For my family and for me, COINSU means a great deal. Everything we have achieved makes us proud. This is a company that helps families, and we would like it to keep doing so for generations.
Alfredo y Alex MontesIndependent growers · Father and son
“
We dream that COINSU keeps growing, because it is development for us, for our children and even for the places where we live: as well as giving work to the family, we give work to our neighbours.
Irma Suyapa MartínezNuevos Horizontes #1 Farming Association

We work so that our plantations are models in environmental, social and economic terms. We fulfil the human mission of working for people we will never even meet.
