Expo Commodities Global Strengthens Sri Lanka’s Organic Spice Exports with New Processing Facility
Expo Commodities Global, Aberdeen Holdings’ spice and speciality products arm, has strengthened its presence in Sri Lanka through a strategic investment in a dedicated organic spice processing facility in Colombo, marking an important milestone in the company’s continued growth. The investment reflects Expo’s focus on strengthening capabilities at origin while positioning Sri Lankan organic spices to meet evolving international market requirements.
Developed in response to increasing global demand for organic ingredients, the facility enhances Expo Commodities Global’s processing and export capabilities, with a focus on efficiency, consistency and quality across its operations. It strengthens the company’s ability to deliver trusted Sri Lankan spices to global customers with the reliability and care expected across international food and ingredient markets.
Supported by carefully managed sourcing and quality assurance processes, the facility is positioned to meet the requirements of key international organic standards, including USDA NOP, EU Organic, JAS and Bio Suisse. Through direct sourcing from farmer groups and quality verification at every stage, from processing to final dispatch – the operation is designed to maintain product integrity, traceability and consistency across the supply chain.
The facility also supports the communities behind Sri Lanka’s spice sector by sourcing directly from farmer groups, creating employment across processing, quality assurance and logistics, and retaining greater value within the local supply chain. By adding value to spices at origin, the investment contributes to higher-value exports, strengthens Sri Lanka’s position in premium international markets and supports the country’s wider export growth ambitions.
Expo Commodities Global is the spice cluster of Expo Global Holdings, a subsidiary of Aberdeen Holdings. Operating across more than 12 origins, including Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Indonesia and Madagascar, the company supplies spices to customers across over 60 countries and markets.
