Diversification of JCT into Exporting of Ceylon Spices

As most of our Pine plantations are situated in the southern region, the area most of the spices are also cultivated, we were exposed to Cinnamon workers. And was drawn to helping them to take their products to the International Market. Using our quality control and logistics experience gained while operating in international markets we were able to diversify our product range to Ceylon spices.
