Understanding Sri Lanka’s diverse agro-ecological zones is essential for successful and sustainable farming. The country’s rich agricultural history is shaped by its varied geography, climate patterns, and soil conditions—all of which influence the type and quality of crops grown across different regions.

Our Sri Lanka Crop Map provides a valuable overview of the regional distribution of key crops, helping farmers, agribusinesses, and policymakers make informed decisions. It highlights the most suitable areas for cultivating major crops such as paddy, tea, coconut, rubber, vegetables, and spices, based on soil fertility, rainfall availability, elevation, and temperature.

By understanding where crops thrive naturally, farmers can improve their yield potential, reduce input costs, and adopt practices that are more in tune with the environment. For stakeholders across the agricultural value chain, this crop map is an essential reference for identifying opportunities, minimising risks, and maximising land use efficiency.

At Tropical Seeds, we use this geographic insight to provide regionally adapted seed varieties —ensuring that farmers receive products specifically suited to their local growing conditions.
