ceylon Spices

For nearly six decades, Seven Seas Holdings Ceylon has connected Sri Lanka’s spice trade with international markets. Established in Colombo in 1971, we have built extensive experience in the export of Ceylon cinnamon, black and white pepper, cloves, nutmeg, mace and other Sri Lankan agricultural produce, with our products reaching more than 50 countries worldwide. This experience has given us a deep understanding of the products we supply, from their individual characteristics and grades to the specifications, consistency and commercial requirements expected by international buyers.

​

From origin to shipment, our approach combines established trading knowledge with the standards required of a modern Sri Lankan spice exporter. We work with carefully selected sources, maintain oversight across supply and export operations, and accommodate buyer-specific requirements across product specifications, packing and independent inspection. Dependable supply, competitive pricing and consistent quality remain fundamental to every market we serve and every shipment we undertake.
