Sri Lanka: Good Market on Organic Product
The organic agriculture movement in Sri Lanka has lead to develop 25,300 hectares of land under organic production. While receiving the encouragement from the government the private companies have taken initiatives to develop certified organic projects and obtain business opportunities for their products from the international market. Apart from the large plantations there are lots of small growers involved in the organic crop production under the supervision of certified export companies.
The main organic product exported from Sri Lanka is organic tea. In addition to that Sri Lankan organic product basket includes products such as spices, essential oils, herbs, herbal preparations, desiccated coconut and coconut milk, oil seeds, pulses, cashew, tropical fruits and vegetables.
