August 11, Colombo (LNW): Ambewela Dairy Farm, a leader in dairy production in Sri Lanka, has embarked on a significant development initiative under the guidance of President Ranil Wickremesinghe.
Established in 1943 and privatized in 2001, the farm has undergone extensive modernization to become a premier center for advanced dairy production and farm technology in South Asia.
In 2022, Ambewela’s daily milk production was around 40,000 liters. However, with ongoing modernization efforts, the farm is poised to reach a daily production of 52,000 liters by 2024, marking a notable 30% increase.
The farm’s goal is to achieve an annual production capacity of 20 million liters through the development of high-quality dairy cow breeds and the automation of livestock management.
During a recent visit, President Wickremesinghe emphasized the need to further enhance milk production and expand output by integrating the latest technologies and state-of-the-art facilities.
This strategy aims to strengthen Ambewela’s role in the national dairy industry. Additionally, the farm has opened its doors to students from Sri Lankan universities, providing them with valuable hands-on experience in advanced dairy farming techniques.
Ambewela Dairy Farm has also become a popular tourist destination, with efforts to improve visitor facilities and offer an enriching experience. On a notable day this year, the farm welcomed 9,000 visitors, highlighting its growing appeal.
Ambewela is renowned for its premium quality dairy products, which are produced with a focus on freshness and quality. The farm follows internationally certified processes to ensure the highest standards.
This includes Ultra High Temperature (UHT) processing, which preserves nutrients while maintaining a six-month shelf life for milk without refrigeration. The farm’s commitment to unadulterated, high-fat content milk sets it apart in the industry.
Ambewela CEO expressed the company’s dedication to uplifting Sri Lanka’s dairy industry and reducing the need for imports by promoting local products. Ambewela remains committed to delivering premium, unadulterated dairy products to consumers, from farm to family.
These initiatives underscore the farm’s commitment to excellence and its role as a leader in the dairy industry. The ongoing support and strategic direction provided by President Wickremesinghe remain crucial in driving the farm’s future success and its contributions to the national economy.
Ambewela delivers unmatched premium quality dairy products with its latest technology and innovation
Ambewela dairy products – manufactured by Lanka Milk Foods (CWE) PLC – is a household name synonymous with freshness and quality.
Another unique factor is that Ambewela milk is never adulterated with milk powder or any other substitutes. The milk is in its purest form and premium with high fat percentages and milk nutrients.
The Friesian and Ayrshires cows at the Ambewela farms are considered the world’s best and the best pedigree siemens are picked for artificial insemination to deliver high quality milk.
