Diwali Celebrations

Diwali Message from the Board of Directors and Staff at Coastals

As the festival of lights approaches, we at Coastals join together to wish you and your loved ones a joyful and prosperous Diwali. May this season bring warmth to your homes, happiness to your families, and success to all your endeavours.

Just as the light of Diwali dispels darkness, may the days ahead be filled with hope, peace, and togetherness. From all of us at Coastals — our Board of Directors and dedicated staff — thank you for being part of our community.

We wish you a safe, blessed, and memorable Diwali. ✨

Cancer Awareness Month

Breast Cancer Awareness Message from the Board of Directors and Staff at Coastals

This October, the Board of Directors and staff at Coastals stand together in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It is a time to honour the bravery of those who are fighting, to remember those we have lost, and to celebrate the survivors whose journeys inspire us all.

We wear pink with pride to raise awareness, encourage early detection, and show solidarity with families and communities touched by breast cancer. Together, we believe in the power of support, compassion, and hope — because no one should face this battle alone.

From all of us at Coastals, we extend strength, love, and encouragement to everyone affected. 💗

Challenge

We will stretch ourselves, within within the changing environment, to achieve agreed goals.

Service Excellence

We constantly strive to satisfy the needs and expectations of members and customers.

Integrity

We will be open and honest in our business relationships.

Co-operative Ownership

Unlike many of our competitors, Coastals’ is unique in that it is a co-operative. It embraces an ethos of mutuality, which means that we exist solely for the benefit of our members – the ‘shareholders’. Thus, members share in all the benefits of membership – there are no outrageous mark-ups, excessive and ‘secret’ profits. There are no external shareholders to report to and no excessive returns are required on the co-operatives capital outlay. Decisions are made with the long-term benefit of our members as opposed to sometimes quick-fix short-term decisions in the private sector.

Purchasing Power

Coastals’ is an extension of your own farming activities. It acts for you as a comparison shopper, secretary and bookkeeper in every aspect of purchasing your farm requirements. We have strong purchasing power and deal with hundreds of suppliers in the agricultural, industrial and commercial sectors. It is our scale and size, along with our reputation for fair and honest trading that is able to generate significant benefits which we pass directly to you on all your purchases.

Credit / Extended Credit

The co-operative, as a predominantly buying organization, has to negotiate from a position of strength. In today’s highly credit orientated society, the buyer who can pay cash or within a short period from delivery date, can command the best prices and discounts. This is our philosophy. Our credit terms to members are 30 days from statement and we offer a generous discount for payment within these terms. Should a member have a short term cash flow problem, it is our policy to assist with extending our terms, but subject of course, to funds being available.

SINGLE ACCOUNT

Few farmers enjoy bookkeeping! The time consuming effort involved in controlling, assembling and checking hundreds of vouchers and invoices each month is one of the tasks that you are freed from, thanks to Coastals’ Consolidated Farming Account. Your statement comes to you each month with all your vouchers and invoices, carefully checked by our staff. The statement is detailed and analyzed by the main farming categories. In addition, the VAT element is separated for ease of recording by the farmer.
