NMK Agro
Heritage
NMK Agro Industries Private Limited began over 35 years ago, as a small oil mill using traditional Sri Lankan methods to produce coconut oil for its surrounding villages. As NMK grew, so did the community around it with over 2,000 people being employed in the company, from workers in the factories to the farmers working on our plantations. The once small oil mill has now evolved into a state-of-the-art facility, catering to leading brands around the world. The core philosophy and values that lay at the heart of the company have remained the same. The company stays true to its roots, values and Sri Lanka’s deep cultural heritage of over 2,000 years through the incorporation of traditional Ayurvedic practices. We operate under the core family values of Trust, Respect, Responsibility, Relationship, Discipline and Passion towards people and the planet, with the aim of fostering a greener planet with healthy people.
Fighting the Myth
Early in NMK’s history, there was a pervasive myth being spread that coconut and coconut products were bad for you. People believed that coconut was bad for your heart and created an unhealthy rise in cholesterol. But Mr. Manjula Narayana knew that for generations, people in Sri Lanka have been using different forms of coconut in their food and had suffered no ill effects. In fact, they were much healthier than people are now.
