Sri Lankan culture and tradition has always been deeply interwoven with the coconut tree, cultivated by our people for its various uses for over thousands of years. Fruits were used for food, fibers for making ropes and textiles, shells for utensils and containers, and its sap for beverages. Thus, regarded as the “Tree of Life” due to its multifaceted utility.
Our climatic conditions ensure all-year harvesting, making Sri Lanka the fourth-largest exporter of coconut to the world. The most popular exports being desiccated coconut, virgin coconut oil and coconut water, bristle fibre products and activated carbon made with coconut shells. Horana Plantations produces coconuts of export quality as our cultivation and harvesting efforts are carried out with utmost care under global standards of best practice.
