In 2002, Mr. Sathis Nawarathne, Chairman of the Sadaharitha Group of Companies, embarked on the pioneering journey of introducing commercial forestry management to Sri Lanka.
Started in 2002, Sadaharitha Plantations Ltd marked its presence by starting plantations of mahogany and rambutan, giving Sri Lankans a novel experience in commercial crop management.
The introduction of teak in 2006 diversified Sadaharitha’s offerings, capitalizing on the global demand for high-quality timber. This strategic move proved lucrative and further strengthened the company’s market position in the commercial forestry management sector.
Following the success of teak, Sadaharitha ventured into sandalwood cultivation in 2009, further diversifying its portfolio.
In 2013, Sadaharitha entered into agarwood (Gaharu) plantations, providing another new experience for the commercial forestry sector in the country.
Through extensive research and development (R&D), the company developed its proprietary “SP Tech” for agarwood inoculation. Utilizing both traditional methods and modern technologies, Sadaharitha boasts a 100% success rate in agarwood inoculation, ensuring each tree yields multiple harvests.
