Coconut Products

Coconut is ambiguous in Sri Lanka as it is almost a ‘social’ crop and forms part of a great tradition in the country. It is also the largest plantation crop. There are many types of coconut growers, ranging from small-holders to professional planters and ‘portfolio’ farmers, who occasionally visit their properties, mainly for recreation.

Dilarshad Enterprise has its own Coconut plantation located in Bingiriya, in the most productive Coconut Triangle area in Sri Lanka. The plantation is young and below 30 years of age. Our plantation has the traditional Tall x Tall Coconut variety and has a life span of over 75 years, providing very large size coconuts of over 21 inch girth, with very thick kernels and containing a very high percentage of oil.

Dilarshad Enterprise also has the King Coconut variety, called the “Golden Variety” traditionally known as “Thambili” . The fruits are Reddish Yellow and harvested before maturity for its very sweet and nutritious liquid within.
