Import Fresh Pineapple — Buy in Bulk from Supplier in Sri Lanka

Cis Comercio supplies fresh pineapple harvested in Sri Lanka. Each fruit is harvested at approximately 1 kg weight and packed in boxes of 6 kg, typically six individual pineapples per case. The pineapples come from the Gampaha district, which accounts for about 35 % of the national pineapple cultivated area. The company has been exporting since 2012 and serves markets in the Middle East, Maldives and Europe.

The fruit is hand‑picked and sorted according to standard post‑harvest handling practices that keep moisture within the typical 12‑14 % range and sugar content around 13‑15 °Brix, aligning with common export quality benchmarks. Boxes are reinforced with dividers to prevent bruising during transport, and the thickness of the boxes can be adjusted per buyer requirement, a flexibility common in the fresh fruit trade. These handling steps help maintain the fruit’s firmness and visual appeal throughout the supply chain. The company follows standard cooling to 4 °C within 24 hours of harvest, a practice that supports a typical shelf life of 5‑7 days under refrigerated conditions.

Exported pineapples are used by supermarkets, food‑service distributors and juice manufacturers who need a reliable source of tropical fruit. Customized packaging, including specific box dimensions or additional protective inserts, can be arranged on request. Export volumes rose 200 % YoY in 2013 to 1.4 million kg and the first half of 2014 approached the same level, indicating strong demand for Sri Lankan pineapples. Shipping is usually arranged from Colombo port, with buyers selecting the most suitable Incoterm for their market.
