The Cuppa needs a storm!
January, 2023
- Tea, Rubber, and Coconut were Sri Lanka’s earliest exports, which were mostly as commodities.
- Companies like GRI, Dipped Products, Silvermill, and Haycarb (to name some) have made significant progress up the value chain for rubber and coconut.
- They have achieved this by investing in R&D to develop high-value-adding products, not just hollow branding. Consequently, achieving premium pricing vs. selling commodities.
- Whilst we wait to tea-off to greener pastures!
