Sri Lanka tea pilot
Central Province
One of the growing regions where the PLANet-ZERO pilot is running with smallholders and bought-leaf factories.
About this region
- High-grown production across the central hills around Kandy and Nuwara Eliya.
- Steep terrain, with plots often split across slopes.
- A high concentration of both estates and bought-leaf factories.
- Rainfall varies sharply over short distances.
Terrain and rainfall variation make this a demanding place to forecast supply — which is exactly why it is useful to test in.
