Ceylon Green Life Plantation (CGLP) has marked a significant milestone in its growth journey by launching its first international agricultural venture in Malaysia, reinforcing its commitment to modern, sustainable farming and global market expansion. The company recently announced the commencement of a large-scale greenhouse cultivation project in Malaysia, which is expected to create new opportunities for Sri Lankan agricultural expertise while strengthening regional agricultural collaboration. Implemented with the support of the Malaysian Government, the initial phase of the project will be carried out on a fifty-acre land allocation. The venture will utilise advanced greenhouse technology, modern cultivation methods and high-yield seed varieties to produce vegetables tailored to the demands of the Malaysian market.
CGLP Founder and Chairman Dr. Malan Francis Peter said the initiative represents a major step towards positioning Sri Lankan agricultural knowledge and expertise on the international stage. “This project provides access to advanced agricultural technologies, improved cultivation practices and a ready market for produce. It creates opportunities not only for our organisation but also for Sri Lankan farmers and agricultural professionals who can benefit from international exposure and knowledge transfer,” he said. According to the company, the project is expected to generate sustainable commercial returns while contributing towards food security and agricultural innovation. The venture will also serve as a platform for future expansion into other regional markets. The official delegation that visited Malaysia included CGLP Group Director – Human Resources Nimanthika Wickramasinghe, Deputy Chief Executive Officer Udara Kotalawala and Chief Operating Officer Kapila Kumara, together with members of the senior management team and representatives of the media. CGLP noted that the Malaysia project aligns with its long-term vision of integrating Sri Lankan agricultural expertise with global opportunities while creating value for stakeholders across the agricultural supply chain. The company further stated that similar international collaborations could contribute significantly towards foreign exchange generation, agricultural technology transfer and the development of export-oriented farming initiatives, strengthening Sri Lanka’s position within the global agricultural sector. With the successful launch of its Malaysian greenhouse project, Ceylon Green Life Plantation continues to demonstrate its ambition of transforming agriculture into a globally connected, technology-driven and commercially sustainable industry while creating new opportunities for Sri Lankan farmers and agribusiness professionals.
