Fresh and processed exotics
CBL Natural Foods is an organisation with four separate company departments, including fresh fruit, coconut products, nuts and dried herbs. “We have over 20 years of experience in producing and exporting fresh and processed fruit,” Rajapakse continues. “Our monthly exports are worth 1.5 million US dollars to many different countries. Our buyers are customers in the US, Europe, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and the Middle East. Important European customers are Germany, the Netherlands and France.” In the coming years, CBL expects to expand its supply of fresh exotics. “We are starting with the export of pineapple, and we also supply mangoes, soursop, papaya, mangosteen, and various other products. The soursop is rumoured to be an anti-carcinogenic, although this has never been medically proven.”
