Lakbima Plantation Pvt. Ltd. a leader in the plantation industry, was recently honoured in the Plantation category at the Swarnasinghe National Awards for exceptional performance and entrepreneurship. As part of the Lakbima Group of Companies, the plantation division has earned recognition for its sustainable practices and innovative approaches to agriculture. Chief Executive Officer, Deshamanya, Upul Kumara received the award. Head office in Maharagama, Lakbima Plantation focuses on cultivating premium crops like agarwood, often referred to as “liquid gold.” This rare and highly sought-after product is prized globally for its use in perfumes and traditional medicines, making it one of the most valuable crops in the region. Unlike other plantation companies that only cultivate on their own land and allow customers to invest, Lakbima Plantation also cultivates crops on customers’ lands, offering a unique investment opportunity.
In addition to agarwood, Lakbima Plantation also grows and exports top-quality Sri Lankan products like cinnamon, snake chili, and ginger. These products are harvested using environmentally friendly practices, ensuring that quality and sustainability go hand in hand. By staying committed to eco-friendly practices and ethical business principles, they continue to make a lasting impact on Sri Lanka’s economy and agricultural future. The company’s export operations connect Sri Lankan agricultural excellence to global markets, boosting foreign exchange revenue and showcasing the country’s rich agricultural heritage. In addition, their import division plays a vital role in supporting local industries by sourcing essential raw materials. By partnering with trusted global suppliers, the company ensures that Sri Lankan businesses remain competitive in a rapidly changing market. With operations in over five countries and a growing network of more than 10 branches, Lakbima Group is dedicated to creating value for its clients, partners, and communities.
