Colombo Port: Trade Hub — කොළඹ වරාය: වෙළඳ මධ්‍යස්ථානය

Colombo port is Sri Lanka's largest and busiest port, handling over 95% of the country's international trade. Kohenoor International ships directly to Colombo with complete documentation meeting Sri Lanka's National Plant Quarantine Service requirements. Transit time from Karachi is just 4-5 days — one of the shortest routes to any South Asian destination. We provide phytosanitary certificates, fumigation records, and all customs compliance documentation under HS Code 120921.

Dry Zone Farming Potential — වියළි කලාප ගොවිතැන් හැකියාව

Sri Lanka's dry zone, covering the north-central, north-western, and eastern provinces, presents significant potential for alfalfa cultivation. With annual rainfall below 1,500mm and extended dry periods, these areas require drought-tolerant forage crops. Alfalfa, particularly Kohenoor's heat-tolerant TAIZTAR variety, can thrive under irrigation in the dry zone, providing 6-8 cuts per year of high-protein fodder. Districts like Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, and Kurunegala are ideal candidates for alfalfa introduction.

Sri Lanka's Dairy Development — ශ්‍රී ලංකාවේ කිරි සංවර්ධනය

Sri Lanka imports over 80% of its dairy requirements, spending approximately USD 500 million annually on milk powder imports. The government's National Livestock Development Board actively promotes domestic dairy production, with major programs in the dry zone and hill country. Alfalfa supplementation can dramatically improve milk yields from Sri Lanka's dairy cattle, providing 18-22% crude protein — far superior to commonly available coconut poonac and rice straw.
