At Dumbara Natural Foods (Private) Limited, we believe that true business success goes beyond commercial growth. Our responsibility extends to the people, communities, and environment that make our journey possible. Every step we take is guided by a commitment to ethical practices, social upliftment, and long-term sustainability.
Empowering Kithul Farming Communities
Our core responsibility lies with the rural Kithul farmers who risk their lives tapping Kithul flowers in remote forest areas. We work closely with these communities to ensure:
- Fair and stable income throughout the year
- Ethical sourcing practices
- Long-term livelihood security
By creating consistent demand and offering fair prices, we help uplift farming families and strengthen rural economies.
Preserving Traditional Knowledge
Kithul tapping is an ancient Sri Lankan tradition passed down through generations. We actively support and preserve this valuable heritage by encouraging traditional harvesting methods while integrating modern safety and quality practices. This ensures the survival of indigenous knowledge while improving working conditions for farmers.
Environmental Responsibility
We are deeply committed to protecting Sri Lanka’s natural ecosystems. Our production processes prioritize:
- Sustainable harvesting of Kithul sap
- Environmentally friendly manufacturing methods
- Minimizing waste and energy consumption
By respecting nature, we ensure that Kithul palms and forest resources remain healthy for future generations.
Commitment to Food Safety & Quality
Social responsibility also means delivering safe, honest food to consumers. All our products are made without sugar, preservatives, artificial colours, or flavouring agents and are produced under strict quality management systems. Our certifications — ISO 22000:2018, HACCP, and GMP - reflect our dedication to global food safety and quality standards.
Supporting Healthy Living
Through our range of natural, sugar-free, and Ayurveda-based Kithul products, we contribute to healthier lifestyles locally and globally. We believe in offering clean, natural alternatives that support well-being without compromising on taste or authenticity.
Growing Together, Responsibly
Our CSR commitment is an ongoing journey. As we grow, we remain focused on creating positive social impact, protecting the environment, and building strong, ethical partnerships across our value chain.
At Dumbara Natural Foods, responsibility is not a separate initiative - it is part of who we are.
