Exploring the Spice Richness of Sri Lanka
100% Transparent & Traceable Ceylon Spices
Expo Commodities Sri Lanka was established in 2014 with the aim of providing 100% transparent and traceable Ceylon spices and coconut products to the global food market. Although we began as a small trader, we are now one of the largest producers, processors, and exporters of natural and organic spices and coconut products in Sri Lanka. We work with 3200 farmers and have a processing capacity of 45,000 sq ft. Our certifications include Organic EU, NOP, JAS, ISO 22 000, and Fairtrade.
Sri Lanka is globally known as the “Spice Island” as we are one of the main suppliers of organic and natural spices to the global food market. The modern Sri Lankan spice industry evolved through four different stages: Arabian merchants (Before 1500), The Portuguese Age (1505), The Dutch Age (1640), and The British Age (1796).

Drying
Spice drying is a process of removing moisture from fresh spices to improve their shelf life and concentrate their flavour.
04
Sterilization
Spices are sterilised to eliminate microorganisms, increase shelf life, and ensure their safety for use in food products.
05
Grinding
Spice grinding is the process of crushing or pulverising whole spices to create a powder or paste, which enhances their flavour and aroma.
06
Analyzing
Spice analyzing evaluates quality, purity, and authenticity through various methods such as chromatography and microbiological testing.
07
Packing
Spice packing involves packaging and labelling spices to ensure their freshness, quality, and safety during storage and transportation.
