Our Work in Sri Lanka

In Sri Lanka, coconut farming is both a vital source of income for farming families and a deeply rooted part of the country’s cultural heritage. Yet, smallholder farmers – those who manage agricultural areas generally less than 100 hectares of land – can face barriers to resources, training, and education that can limit both economic opportunity and community development.

We work with local partners to equip farmers with the tools and support they need to thrive. This includes distributing seedlings to farmers through Vita Coco’s Seedlings for Sustainability initiative which has a goal to help distribute and plant 10 million seedlings and trees by 2030. Seedling distribution is accompanied by training in regenerative agriculture principles that can help protect soil health and biodiversity. This can include topics like composting, water conservation, intercropping, and more. We also invest in education, helping to provide scholarships to students and construct school buildings.

Our work in Sri Lanka continues to strengthen both farmer livelihoods and community resilience. Learn more about our impact through some recent projects from Sri Lanka below.
