Description

Fresh Sri Lankan king coconuts (thambili, Cocos nucifera var. aurantiaca), the orange drinking coconut, harvested young for their water. Shipped whole in refrigerated containers; 20 ft and 40 ft reefer loads to the Gulf, Europe and Asia. Count per container, trimming and packing confirmed with the quote.

How to buy: request a quote with grade, cut length, quantity and destination port. We confirm a firm price, packing, lead time and validity in writing, FOB Colombo or CIF to your port. Grade is checked against the lot before shipment; certificates of analysis on request.

Where it sells

King coconuts are sold chilled in cafes, juice bars, hotels and grocers that serve South Asian customers, and are usually opened fresh for each customer. Their orange shell makes them easy to tell apart from green drinking coconuts on display.

What to tell us for a quote

  • Trim: natural husk, or trimmed for easier opening and display
  • Size range and count per carton or bag
  • Number of containers and how often you buy
  • Destination port, and the cold store or distribution point at your end

Handling

Fresh coconuts are perishable, so the reefer temperature and transit time matter. Plan onward distribution at your end before the container arrives. Samples are available before an order, and lead time is confirmed with the quotation.

Full or shared reefer containers

Buyers who are not ready for a full container of king coconuts can share a reefer with other chilled Sri Lankan produce, for example fresh fruit and vegetables, through our consolidation service. Tell us the other items you want and we check they can travel at the same temperature.

Export documents

  • Phytosanitary certificate from Sri Lanka’s National Plant Quarantine Service for every shipment
  • Certificate of origin, commercial invoice and packing list
  • Importing-country rules: some markets need an import permit or registration for fresh produce. Tell us your destination and we confirm before quoting.
