Ceylon Grain Elevators PLC has approved a Rs. 3 billion investment to double poultry processing capacity at its Seeduwa plant. The expansion aims to increase value-added product output and efficiency through automation, and is subject to BOI and other government approvals.
Ceylon Grain Elevators posted revenue up 22% to Rs 7.3bn and net profit of Rs 936mn (EPS 15.60), driven by stronger broiler day-old chick and processed chicken sales from its Three Acre Farms unit.
Three Acre Farms (TAFL) reported a 27% fall in revenues to Rs 1,231 million in the June 2025 quarter as farmers cut purchases of day‑old chicks and the company lowered chick prices. The report cites volatile egg/broiler prices, high maize import duties and central bank policy shifts weighing on the sector.
Three Acre Farms (TAFL) said its profits fell as chicken and egg prices declined over the past year despite improved broiler-farm efficiency. Parent Ceylon Grain Elevators (GRAN) cut feed prices, reported higher domestic maize costs/quality issues and spent Rs 270 million to retrofit an ammonia refrigeration system.
Ceylon Grain Elevators (GRAN.N0000) coordinated a chartered bulk maize vessel to cut feed procurement and shipping costs amid high Sri Lankan maize import taxes (25 rupee/kg), aiming to lower input costs for poultry producers.
Ceylon Grain Elevators (GRAN.N0000) said maize import licensing and high duties are blocking poultry export opportunities and causing feed shortages, with locally grown maize meeting less than 50% of industry needs. The firm warned delayed permits and low-quality local maize raise costs and aflatoxin risks.

Plantations & Agriculture sector: what is happening
