We are a leading public listed company specializing in the management of tea, rubber, and oil palm estates in Sri Lanka.
Initially, Kotagala Plantations comprised 10 high-grown tea properties situated in the Dimbulla district, along with 14 rubber and tea cum rubber properties in the Kalutara district. Over time, we have expanded our portfolio through strategic acquisitions, amalgamations, and exchanges. Today, our company has evolved to encompass 10 high-grown properties and 11 rubber, tea cum rubber, and oil palm estates in the low country.
At Kotagala, we take pride in our diverse agricultural operations. With 12 tea factories and 8 rubber factories, we possess the infrastructure and expertise to produce various types of tea, including rotorvane, leafy, and CTC manufacture. Our rubber manufacturing capabilities encompass crepe, sole crepe, and centrifuged production methods. Further, we have ventured into oil palm cultivation, adding another dimension to our agricultural endeavours.
