Green Care Organic Supermarket recently announced the launch of Mal
Organic Products at its flagship store, as Mal Organic launches its quality
export goods into the local Sri Lankan market. Mal Organic is an
internationally accredited organic company, an export company established in
2010, employing more than 50 employees. They started their business with coconut
and coconut-based products, primarily organic virgin coconut oil, to the EU,
UK, New Zealand, UAE, and Indian markets, with operations in the UK and
Malaysia, and a plant in Kuliyapitiya and Embilipitiya plantation.
Green Care
offers 100 per cent of organic produce. It has continued to promote sustainable
living, with both founders identifying the store as a "where people and
food matter" neighbourhood shop, having a positive impact on Green Care's
neighbourhoods and stakeholders. Green Care Organic Founder N. Rathnayake said,
"At Green Care Organic, we aim to continue to expand our range and product
offerings. It is not only to have these products in our company DNA but also to
educate the broader public on the benefit and quality of using organic products.”
In addition to
the Mal Organic products that are now available on the Sri Lankan market, the
company also celebrates its third anniversary of launching organic cosmetic
products at Green Care Organic and is an accredited control unit. Mal Organic
Concluding Director N. S. M. Mendis added, "We are delighted to partner in
this venture with Green Care Organic, as we look forward to expanding the
organic product market with our quality export goods. We don't see why local
markets shouldn't have access to globally standardised goods.”
"Sri Lanka
is rich in organic produce, and making it available to our local community is
our prerogative." Initially, in 2016 Green Care Organic started to help
the green community by highlighting and promoting their products. They have
since accumulated strong followers and have been accredited the 'Participatory
Pledge Scheme' (PGS) for organic food.
OSL Take: The
export sector is in the process of expanding its product portfolio. The state
of Sri Lanka is looking at promoting the import of planting material and fresh
produce, which in turn expects to boost foreign investments to the country and
improve the processed food export sector. Foreign businesses engaged in
agriculture exports could look at opportunities in exporting goods to Sri
Lanka. At the same time, local companies could develop the processed food
industry and target the export market.
