Sri Lanka is a green island located in the south of the Indian Ocean. The country was known as ‘Ceylon’ until 1972. Documented history of the country spans more than three thousand years but its actual history goes back more than hundred thousand of years.

For many years, the country has been regarded as a home for popular spice products. Although spice farming dates back to 14th century, Ceylon spices have remained the most sought for food additives. According to statistics, 56% of Sri Lankan agricultural exports consist of spices, essential oils, and allied products. Due to the availability of rainfall, the presence of a warm, humid tropical climate, and rich soil, Ceylon species has unique taste, strong aroma, and natural health benefits.
