• Ture Ceylon cinnamon is manufactured in some of our low country estates and the cinnamon quills are handpicked and refined mainly as a condiment in these parts of the world. It is believed that the tropical climatic conditions and the soil setting of the southern Sri Lankan belt have directly resulted in the superior quality of the Cinnamon produced by us. • Currently we have cultivated conventional Cinnamon in around 100 Hectares of our own estate lands and our plan is to extend this to 200 Hectares very soon. We have also put up a processing facility in Divitura, which is one of our estates in the Low Grown area. Sourcing Cinnamon from our own plantations has given us a big advantage by way of having direct control over the quality, freshness, availability and price. Having our own processing facility along with our competent logistic arm has helped us to deliver on-schedule using the most economical means. Adding further value is the innovative range of products and dependable customer service, all conveniently available under one roof. • In addition to the 100 hectares of Conventional Cinnamon, we have extended our Cinnamon to a contracted group of 41 farmers who has cultivated around 657 acres (266 hectares) of Organic Cinnamon. Elpitiya Plantations has obtained the Organic certificates; EU, NOP & JAS from Control Union for this contracted farmer group, thus making us the holder of the 2nd largest Organic Cinnamon extent in Sri Lanka, which is a remarkable feat. The main benefit we can offer our buyers is the capability to supply a large quantity of Organic Ceylon Cinnamon from a single and trusted source, providing convenience in sourcing and logistics.
