Who We Are
Kurunegala Plantations Limited, from its inception had its managerial roots embedded in the Private Sector; however, due to being economically non-viable and in a state of downfall owing to the lack of proper management over a period of nearly 13 years, the Government decided to reclaim the management of the Company with effect from 01st January 2005. This move brought the plantation directly under the purview of the Ministry of Plantation Industries. Over the years its control changed hands
several times from ministry to ministry. Since 01st September 2015, Kurunegala Plantations Limited has been operating under the preview of the Ministry of Public Enterprises Development, which later became the Ministry of Public Enterprises and
Kandy City Development. From 09th November 2018, KPL came under the purview of the Ministry of Plantation Industries.
From 09 th August 2020, KPL came under the purview of the Ministry of Plantations and from 06 th October 2020 KPL has been operating under the control of the State Ministry of Coconut, Kithul, Palmyrah Cultivation Promotion and Related Industrial Product Manufacturing & Export Diversification.
KPL’s core business interests continue to be in the cultivation, production, processing and sale of coconut, rubber and ancillary crops with a portfolio of 07 area estates covering over 4971.12 hectares, which sprawl across varying agro climatic zones in the three districts of Kurunegala, Gampaha and Anuradhapura.
