Drink “Pelwatte” stay healthy
In today’s world of fast food products, healthier and nutritious foods are truly hard to find. We all, especially children tend to avoid drinking milk. But at present this has a wonderful solution as Pelwatte Dairy is famous in producing nutritious and healthy products. The Pelwatte Dairy Industries Limited is a registered company in Sri Lanka who are well known for their dairy products. They are equipped with high tech technology and processes hygienically rich milk maintaining the international standards.
Established in the year 2006, the owner and the chairman of the company Ariyaseela Wickremanayake invested Rs 1.5 billion to start the company in order to produce dairy products such as milk powder, liquid milk, butter, yoghurt, cheese and ice cream. It has been further reported that within a short span of time, the company is also planning to introduce the full cream milk powder to the market. As the cattle are being fed on superior quality animal feed, the milk collected from the cows is also of good quality. This in course also increases the productivity of the herd.
Earlier it was being reported that the importers used to buy the low quality milk powders which was detected later on. Earlier people used to drink the imported milk powder instead of the liquid milk. Now it has been stopped as Pelwatte produces milk powder in 400gm packs priced at Rs255. The company slowly and steadily introduced all the range of dairy products and eventually defended the drain of foreign exchange from the country. It has been noted that already the brand “Pelwatte” had commenced yoghurt, ice cream and butter to the market and within a period of time, the products will be distributed around the country.
Pelwatte Dairy is not only producing nutritious and healthy products but also takes good care of the herd and also the farmers. Factories have been introduced to produce 10 tons of milk powder, 50,000 yoghurt cups and two tons of butter each day and 4000 bottles of liquid milk in an hour. As a result, due to the sufficiency of milk, there is also lower in the price of the milk and its products, although some of the importers create artificial shortage to raise the price. The proud company Pelwatte Dairy at present has an aim of making Sri Lanka a self sufficient country in milk and all kinds of milk based products.
