Hatton Plantations Aims to Revitalize Sri Lanka’s Coffee Exports by 2030

by Jessica

Hatton Plantations PLC, a key player in Sri Lanka’s agricultural sector, anticipates its first batch of coffee to hit the market by 2026. The company is aiming to re-establish Sri Lanka as a prominent coffee exporter, with plans to enter global export markets by 2030.

Under the leadership of Gary Seaton, an agribusiness expert and Chairman of the G&G Group of Companies, Hatton Plantations PLC made a significant move into coffee production three years ago. This initiative, backed by a Rs.1 billion investment—Rs.300 million of which was allocated for a coffee processing plant—aims to diversify the company’s agricultural portfolio.

During a media roundtable held last week in Peliyagoda, Seaton shared that coffee is already being cultivated on 100 acres of land, with plans to expand the coffee plantation to an additional 400 acres.

Hatton Plantations, known for being the largest black tea producer among Sri Lanka’s Regional Plantation Companies (RPCs), hopes this coffee initiative will help reduce its reliance on tea, thereby minimizing the financial risks associated with fluctuations in the tea market.
