Rebco
Colombo, Sri Lanka



Rebco is an initiative to cultivate food on company-owned land using environmentally responsible techniques. They aim to contribute to food security, foreign exchange, and local employment, protect native plants and waterways, and promote organic cultivation in Sri Lanka. Initial crops include turmeric, ginger, moringa, aloe vera, and pineapple. Planting materials were sourced from farmers in Polpithigama and Eheliyagoda who do not use synthetic agrichemicals. Rebco's parent company offers interest-free housing loans and hospitalization benefits for workers and maintains a fund to support widows and local orphanages.
