Cinnamon Land Investment: Sri Lanka's Gold
Key Takeaways:
- Location: Galle, Matara, Karandeniya.
- Price: Rs. 4 - 6 Million per Acre.
- Profit: High (Dollar-pegged).
Cinnamon is labor-intensive (peeling requires skill), but the price per kg is extremely high.
The Model
You usually give the land on "Share Crop" basis (Ande).
- The Peeler takes 1/3 or 1/2 of the harvest.
- You take the rest.
Why it wins
Sri Lanka has 90% of the world's True Cinnamon market. It is an export crop, meaning prices go up when the Rupee falls.
Verdict: High maintenance, high reward. Best for active investors.
