MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF KPL
Kurunegala Plantations Limited (KPL) is dedicated to advancing the Sri Lankan Government’s vision of enhancing the nation’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) through the strategic development of the agricultural sector. As part of this commitment, KPL aims to become the leading plantation and agribusiness management company in Southeast Asia, fully aligned with the government’s focus on agriculture as a key engine of economic growth.
Currently, agriculture’s contribution to Sri Lanka’s economy and export earnings is relatively low compared to other sectors such as industry and services. However, the Government of Sri Lanka recognizes the significant potential of the agricultural sector, leveraging the country’s rich natural resources, skilled workforce, and favorable climatic conditions. KPL shares this vision and is focused on driving improvements in productivity and profitability through the adoption of advanced technologies and sustainable agricultural practices. In doing so, KPL seeks to contribute to the economic development of the country while delivering long-term benefits to the broader community.
At KPL, we are committed to cultivating a highly skilled, motivated, and results-driven workforce. Our corporate culture is built on the principles of quality, innovation, productivity, and environmental stewardship. We invest in our employees by offering performance-based financial incentives, along with non-financial benefits such as enhanced housing and workplace facilities, ensuring they are empowered to excel in a supportive and growth-oriented environment.
With a forward-looking approach, KPL is confident in its ability to adapt to emerging trends and new technologies that support our long-term objectives. Our commitment to sustainable development, employee empowerment, and stakeholder value creation positions us for continued success, diversification, and a key role in the future growth of Sri Lanka’s agricultural sector.
