Sri Lanka’s beverage plants make fruit drinks, nectars and flavoured waters from tropical fruit such as mango, passion fruit, pineapple, guava and wood apple, and bottle them for export. Ready-to-drink beverages exported about US$33 million in 2025.

What can be made

• Fruit drinks and nectars from tropical fruits

Labelling

Juice content, sugar and additives must be labelled to the rules of your market, and some markets restrict certain colours and preservatives. Tell us your market and we confirm the recipe and labels with the bottler.

Shipping

Bottled drinks are heavy and are usually shipped in full containers by sea, or added to a mixed container with other Sri Lankan food products.

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.
