The last decade saw a significant increase in demand for many coconut based products so much so that the export value out of Sri Lanka has more than doubled in dollar terms (from $550M in 2015 to $1.3B in 2025). However, the average coconut kg price has edged up only 30% from $0.4 to $0.54 in the same time period, which is an annual growth rate of around 3%. To worsen matters, the country's average yield per tree has dropped from 65 nuts per annum to 50 nuts per annum. All this means that the farmer has been receiving the bad end of the stick. Reasons vary from pest troubles to increasing senile crops. None of this is sustainable for the industry 🥥🌴
To be a part of the solution, we are aiding the launch of the Ceylon Regenerative Farmers Association. We will be providing training into regenerative organic practices such as inter-cropping and extending grants (from our company and development partners) in the form of high yielding saplings and organic fertilizer ranging from a few $100 to a few $1000 per farmer. Currently, we have 8 farmers on board and nearly 50 acres in total area. We hope to grow it to 1000 acres by 2030. If you are interested, we are keen to hear from you. Please sign up below 👇
