Sri Lanka has chocolate makers that produce bars, boxed chocolates and coated nuts and fruit for local and export buyers. Chocolate and cocoa confectionery exported about US$26 million in 2025. Sri Lanka also grows a small amount of cocoa.

What makes it Sri Lankan

Flavours built on the island’s spices and fruit: Ceylon cinnamon, cardamom, pepper, coconut, mango and passion fruit. These suit gift, tourist and specialty ranges.

Shipping

Chocolate melts above about 30 °C, so it is shipped in reefer containers or temperature-controlled air freight. Shelf life and storage are confirmed with the quote.

Labelling

Cocoa content, allergens (milk, nuts, soy) and naming rules for “chocolate” differ by market. Tell us your market and we confirm the recipe and labels.

Private label

Retail packs can carry your brand. Send us your artwork, pack size and labelling requirements for your market, and we confirm packing options, minimum order and lead time with the quote. You remain responsible for the label claims made in your market.

What to tell us for a quote

• The product, grade or specification you need, and a reference sample if you have one
• Quantity per order and how often you buy
• Pack size, packaging and labelling
• Destination port and the Incoterm you prefer
• Documents your market requires, such as a certificate of origin, phytosanitary certificate or lab test reports

Packing and shipping

Orders are packed to your instruction and shipped by sea in a full or shared container, or by air for samples and small lots, quoted FOB Colombo, CFR or CIF to your port. Products from several Sri Lankan suppliers can share one container through our consolidation service.

How to get a price: tell us the quantity, your specification and your destination port. We quote FOB Colombo, CFR or CIF, with lead time and minimum order, and arrange samples before an order.
