About Us

The origin of Mathakadara Pvt Ltd dates back to 2020 when a courageous young farmer took a brave decision to cultivate pomegranates in one of the most rural places in Sri Lanka: Mathakadara, Tissamaharama. Mathakadara Pomegranates started its first online venture in 2021 as a fresh fruit-selling platform through Facebook.

In 2022, Mathakadara began making value-added products using various parts of the pomegranate fruit. In 2023, we opened our factory in Kawantissapura, Tissamaharama, as the first pomegranate product manufacturing factory in Sri Lanka. Today, there are over 18 pomegranate-based products manufactured by Mathakadara.

Our products are divided into two categories: Food & Beverage and Skin & Hair Care. When it comes to food and beverages, we strive to make products with zero chemicals, addressing the growing concern over health issues related to chemical consumption. Mathakadara takes pride in its commitment to manufacturing natural skincare products that pose no health risks to the skin.

Health-conscious consumers are the primary target market for Mathakadara. We are fully committed to provide health-boosting products by utilizing different parts of the pomegranate, a superfood tree.

Our main product is a 100% pure pomegranate juice bottle, named Matha Prana, which we introduced to the market as an alternative to fresh pomegranate fruits during the off-season.

Vision

We contribute to empowering the local manufacturing economy by saving money that would otherwise flow overseas, implementing new strategies to reduce agricultural crop wastage, and providing solutions to unemployment.

Mission

Conquering local and international markets by introducing new products aimed at creating a healthier nation, all based on the God-gifted superfood: pomegranate.
