With a climate and soil conditions proven ideal to the growth of fruits and vegetables, Sri Lanka has been known to produce a large variety of tropical delicacies in demand worldwide. Agriculture, being one of the most popular livelihoods in Sri Lanka, the local markets experience an influx of fresh fruit and vegetable products during the harvesting seasons.
Yet, most of this product used to go to waste due to the lack of proper knowledge on post-harvest handling, packaging and right storage methods.
However, with the introduction of new post-harvest handling techniques, cold storage, preservation and packaging methods to Sri Lankan farmers, an unprecedented increase in the amount and variety of vegetable and fruit exports has been recorded during the past decade.
According to a study conducted by the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce (CCC) in the year 2013, Sri Lankan fresh fruit and vegetable exports have recorded an increase of 22% with the number of exported fruit and vegetable varieties indicating an increase from a mere 12 to 135.
Pepper
Considered one of the most important spices since the beginning of known history, Pepper trade controls nearly 20% of the global spice market today, and Sri Lankan Pepper exporters have the potential to expand into a market that is as lucrative as gold.
Pepper has been in global use since the fourth century BC mainly among the Eastern civilizations and the most ancient archaeological record of pepper has emerged from the tomb of Ramases II, inserted into the nostrils of mummified Pharaoh during mummification.
Although its cultivation has always been limited to a number of countries in South Asia, Pepper has been one of the most prized spices in Europe.
Pepper Trading was carried out by the traders from India's Malabar region, who purchased pepper stocks from the South Indian and Sri Lankan pepper manufacturers and transported them to the buyers in Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa through land routes.
Cardamom, the queen of spice, with a sweet mixture of aroma and flavor, is the third most expensive spice in the world spice market second only to saffron and vanilla.
Part of the ancient family of spices, cardamom was used as a tooth cleaner by ancient Egyptians, while the Greeks and Romans used cardamom as a source of fragrance in perfumes and air fresheners. Ancient Chinese and Indian herbal medication also involved cardamom as a main ingredient and were among the main cultivators of cardamom.
Cloves are a dried flower of a tree native to Sri Lanka and have a bright, spicy flavor. Nowadays cloves are widely used in a variety of national cuisines and frequently add their flavor and aroma to hot beverages like tea and mulled wine. Our pungent and aromatic dried cloves are a fundamental spice for every pantry.
