Sri Lanka's plantation sector is mobilising climate-resilience measures during an El Niño-linked dry spell as the government sets aside Rs.4.8 billion for relief and raises daily water allocations to 15 litres. Estate firms such as Udapussellawa, Browns (Browns Investments), Kelani Valley and Horana are adopting water-conservation, agroforestry, drought-tolerant practices and solar installations.
Kelani Valley Plantations PLC (KVAL.N0000) has launched a limited-edition single-estate artisanal and specialty tea collection-including Silver Tips, White Tea, Golden Tips and estate Black Teas-targeting the premium, value-added segment.
