In an era of transformation for Sri Lanka's plantation sector, Kahawatte Plantations PLC (KWPL) has emerged as a formidable force, redefining the parameters of agricultural excellence, sustainability and inclusive growth.

Kahawatte Plantations redefines future of Lanka's plantation industry

As a Regional Plantation Company operating across the landscapes of Nawalapitiya and Sabaragamuwa, KWPL manages 16 estates spread across 12,356 hectares. The company's diverse crop mix includes tea, rubber, cinnamon, coffee, coconut, pepper, durian, macadamia and commercial forestry which highlights its commitment to diversification and resilience.

Operating under the stewardship of the MJF Group of Companies, globally recognized for the Dilmah Tea brand, KWPL is nurturing innovation, integrity, and long-term impact.

Since its acquisition by the MJF Group in 2002, KWPL has undergone a strategic transformation. Moving away from traditional plantation practices, the company has adopted cutting-edge agri-innovation and sustainable business models. With an ambitious focus on reversing profit erosion and boosting margins, KWPL has implemented lean cost structures, rigorous KPI monitoring, mechanization, and high-efficiency operations across its estates. These strategies have delivered tangible results. The company's investment in solar and hydro energy systems now saves over Rs. 4 million each month, while the Rs. 120 million solar project at Imboolpittia Estate is expected to generate consistent income for the next two decades. Notably, 70% of this project is funded through grants from the MJF Charitable Foundation.
