Atuwa proudly owns and operates a diverse range of plantations in Sri Lanka, where we combine farm forestry with agro-tourism to enhance sustainability and promote ecological balance. Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in the careful selection of tree species that thrive in specific agro-climates, ensuring that each plantation supports biodiversity through a variety of canopy levels. Located in the dry zone of Sri Lanka, which receives less than 70 inches of rain annually across two rainy seasons, our plantations utilize the resilient Red-Yellow Podzolic soils. These lands, often marginal with exposure to winds and storms, benefit from our trees, which act as wind barriers and provide shelter for crops grown underneath. By adhering to best practices in agro-forestry, we ensure that each tree is harvested at maturity and replaced with a new one, maintaining a cycle that balances profit with environmental stewardship.

Our plantations also offer a unique agro-tourism experience, utilizing the rocky and wetter parts of the land that are unsuitable for cultivation. These areas are conserved for water management and wildlife habitats, providing visitors with a rich, immersive experience in sustainable agriculture and natural conservation. This integration of tourism within our plantations not only diversifies our income but also educates and engages the public on the importance of sustainable land management practices.
