Forty years of doing one thing properly.
What began as a small family operation is now one of Sri Lanka's leading layer poultry farms — and a diversified group that still keeps eggs at its centre.
A legacy built one season at a time
Buddima Farm represents the evolution of modern agriculture, combining traditional wisdom with contemporary technology. What began 40 years ago as a humble, small-scale operation by our Managing Director, Mr. J.M. Jayathilaka, has grown into a leading producer of fresh table eggs and a major contributor to the national poultry industry.
Over four decades we have remained committed to excellence, transforming from a family operation into a large-scale layer farm that powers the local economy and supplies high-quality eggs across the island.
