Sri Lanka cinnamon has the best cinnamon flavour in the world.
Grow more and give the world SriLanka cinnamon.

The well learned reseachers of the cinnamon industry should think about finding new methods and iquipmens for making cinnamon. We are still using the same old types equipments that have been using from the year 1500. To - day the world is marching forward with advance Technology.

Harry I agree with you totally.
All the Cinnamon growers whenever they meet they always talk about the lack of skilled labour, 60% of the Cinnamon is not harvested due to all sorts of reasons and so on. But nobody has taken any action to solve these problems they are facing.
All we do is address it to the government and tha'ts all that happens and then blame the government for it. Why can't the cinnamon growers themselves get together, take the initiative invest some money and do some research to solve their problems instead of talking about them.
Everyone is expecting the government to do the research, that's not the way it should be ... all cinnamon growers should do their own research and find solutions to their day to day problems. Pool the resources and work as a team.

5 years back I remember the same spice council headed by Mr. Sarada de Silva addressing the same problems and it looks like these problems are still not solved. I think you guys need to wake up and go and see what is happening in Dissanayaka Walauwa cinnamon peeling center ... how they peel cinnamon.
I myself discovered this new method of peeling and addressed it to them and the then minister of agriculture Hon. Hemakumar Nanayakkara. Who advised the meeting (spice council meeting) of the new technique and also introduced me to the attendees as the man who found this new method ,

The Minister officiallly requested the cinnamon research institue in Matale and matara areas to do further research into this new technique and confirm whether it is possible to utilise the method without altering the goodness of the bark. It took them more than 3 years and has now requested the public to use this simple method to cut down labour cost with improved goodness of peeled bark.
I am doing further research to improve the peeling method using the same technique without bothering the government as they got enough things to do for us!

The new technique will ensure minimum handling thus improving food safety and hygiene. You can verify all of the above if you contact Mr. Hemakumar Nanayakkara.
Thank you for giving me this opportunity to write a few words. One last thing I agree Sri Lanka has the best Cinnamon in the world, she also has the best Pepper in the world and also the best Vanilla in the world too! This has not been proven yet. !In Sri Lanka we have so many best in the world stuff!!
