Our Journey

From vision to reality: How CeylonSpizee connects Sri Lankan farmers to global markets

My name is Pramuditha Damsara Wanniarachchi, and CeylonSpizee began with a simple but powerful realization.

Working as an International Sales Manager in Sri Lanka, I've spent years engaging with global buyers, importers, and food brands. Through this journey, I clearly saw two sides of the same story. International buyers were struggling with traceability, transparency, consistency, and reliability when sourcing agricultural commodities. At the same time, Sri Lanka's smallholder spice farmers—the true backbone of our agricultural industry—were receiving little recognition, limited market access, and often an unfair share of the value they create.

These farmers are the real heroes of Sri Lankan agriculture.

They carry generations of knowledge, understand the land, the soil, and the climate, and produce some of the finest spices in the world. Yet too often, their effort and expertise remain invisible once the product enters the global supply chain. I knew there was a gap—and more importantly, a responsibility—to bridge that divide.

Sri Lanka is not just another origin country. It is the home of authentic Ceylon spices, shaped by unique geography, climate, and traditional agricultural wisdom that cannot be replicated elsewhere. CeylonSpizee was born from the belief that this value should be preserved, respected, and shared—while ensuring that the farmers behind it receive their rightful recognition and fair return.

With a background in International Business Management and a strong interest in technology and automation, I began building transparent systems—AI-driven sales tools, CRM workflows, and efficient export processes—to create trust and reliability for global buyers. But agriculture is not built on systems alone. It is built on people.

That understanding led me to one of the most meaningful partnerships in our journey.

By chance—and perhaps destiny—I became neighbors with Mr. Samantha Buddhika, a forestry professional with over 20 years of experience in sustainable forestry, ecosystem restoration, community-based projects, and conservation work with the Sri Lanka Forest Department. His deep understanding of land management, sustainability, and farmer engagement brought a vital dimension to CeylonSpizee. It was through him that Agarwood and Oud Oil became part of our vision, expanding our mission beyond spices into responsibly sourced essential oils.

What began as my idea soon became our shared purpose.

Today, CeylonSpizee works closely with handpicked, certified organic smallholder farmers, supporting them not just as suppliers, but as long-term partners. We help them bring their finest harvests to the global market while maintaining transparency, sustainability, and quality at every stage. By connecting farmers directly with international buyers, we create a supply chain that connects people, not just products.

We focus exclusively on organic products, not as a marketing choice, but as a long-term commitment to health, sustainability, and environmental responsibility. Our aim is to make premium organic Ceylon spices accessible at conventional prices, encouraging wider adoption of organic food globally. We do not impose minimum order quantities because we genuinely want to support startups and growing food brands, just as we are building our own journey.

At CeylonSpizee, we believe in long-term B2B partnerships, fair trade, and mutual growth. Every shipment we send represents more than a transaction—it carries the hard work of our farmers, the wisdom of our land, and our promise to do business with integrity.

This is how we bring true value back to the real heroes of Sri Lankan agriculture—the smallholder spice farmers—by giving them visibility, respect, and access to the global market they deserve.

This is not just my story anymore. This is our story.
