About Fruits, Nuts and Vegetables from Sri Lanka
This category covers fruit, nut and vegetable products from Sri Lanka. Dehydrated jackfruit seeds (kos ata), the dried seeds of Artocarpus heterophyllus, are listed here. Five more items are listed as available on request: cashew kernels, fresh bananas, fresh mangoes, fresh bitter gourd (karela) and banana blossom. These five are standard Sri Lankan export products described from official sources. A listing is not a statement of stock, and a quotation follows your enquiry. Dehydrated fruits such as mango, pineapple, soursop, young jackfruit and breadfruit are listed on this site under Food, Feed & Beverages.
The jackfruit seed listing gives pack formats of 10-count vacuum packs, stand-up pouches, kraft paper bags, foil-lined sachets, PET jars, tuck-in boxes and bulk master cartons, with private label packing listed. Typical buyers are importers of Sri Lankan and South Asian groceries, food distributors, retailers and restaurants. Ask for the order terms with your quotation.
The Sri Lanka Export Development Board (EDB) states that the country's diverse climatic regions produce a wide variety of fruits, nuts and vegetables, and that Sri Lanka exports both fresh and processed varieties. Fresh produce is perishable and is subject to plant quarantine controls in the importing country. The variety, grade, packing, transport mode and documents therefore need to be agreed for each shipment.
To request a quote, email us from the Contact page or the How to order page. State the product, fresh or dried form, the quantity, the pack size, the destination port and any documents you need, such as a phytosanitary certificate. If the item you need is not listed, send its specification the same way.
