Ceylon Exports & Trading

In 2018, Dulara, a first generation entrepreneur with a passion to share premium Ceylon products with the rest of the world and to uplift the local community, saw a closing down factory in Sri Lanka’s coconut triangle. Seeing its value to be turned around as an authentic organic coconut supplier to the world with sustainability and ethical transparency at its core, Dulara partnered with Altaf, a coconut enthusiast and plantation owner, to acquire the factory and build the export business Ceylon Exports & Trading (CET). We currently export to over 20 countries, spanning 5 continents and hire 100 employees locally. Our company brand - Coco House - is the first “tree-to-table” Sri Lankan global coconut brand. Our trademark signifies our positioning as direct operators of coconut plantations and factories, providing unprecedented authenticity and transparency in the coconut sector. Each of our workers earns at least 30% above the national median income, and more than 91% of our selling value goes to the farming, processing and other supplier community.
