Who We Are ?
About Sustenance Lanka (Pvt) Ltd
Our primary objective is to develop innovative products using fruits, vegetables, and tubers that naturally thrive in the rich forests and fertile lands of Uva Wellassa.
These products will be introduced to the market under the brand name "Wild Pick".
This initiative offers consumers the chance to enjoy the authentic flavors of naturally sourced harvests, while also creating an additional source of income for local farmers in the region.
In addition, Sustenance Lanka (Pvt) Ltd is actively engaged in research and development to create value-added products from the surplus agricultural harvest in the Uva Province.
As an outcome of these efforts, alongside the "Wild Pick" range, we plan to introduce a new product line made from pumpkin, under the brand name "Pepo".
