Samaposha, is the first local cereal brand to receive the SLS
certification in Sri Lanka. Plenty Foods Limited, a subsidiary of Ceylon
Biscuits Limited (CBL), is the pioneer in introducing innovative local
agri-based food items to the market and Samaposha is its flagship brand.
Samaposha is manufactured using local agricultural raw material such
as corn, rice, soya and green gram which are purchased from over 10,000
dedicated farmers closely working with Plenty Foods Limited. These
farmers are attached to a backward integration program introduced by
Plenty Foods Limited.
The entire crop sourced from farmers, is utilised for production of
Samaposha within one year of harvest.
The Samaposha production facility is in Pallekele and this factory is
considered to be the first of its kind in Sri Lanka. |
