A corporate group built on the land it serves
From a single farming operation in the deep south to an integrated group spanning agriculture, finance, education and leisure.
Who we are
Premier Harvest (Pvt) Ltd, trading as Premier Group, is a dynamic enterprise delivering sustainable agriculture, financial services, international education and business consultation. Headquartered at Main Street, Ambalantota with regional operational centres across Sri Lanka, the group operates through seven specialised divisions that report to a single board and share one standard of governance.
Our work begins in the field. Commercial plantations of banana, pomegranate, papaya, watermelon and pumpkin are managed with modern agronomy and smart irrigation, giving predictable yields and a reliable base for everything else the group does.
Around that base we have built the services rural families actually ask for — funding they can access without delay, insurance explained in plain language, a genuine route to study or work abroad, and trained care for the adults at home who need help to live safely.
Each division feeds the next
Premier Farming grows high-yield crops on managed estates.
Funding Solutions and Insurance Brokers finance and protect growers.
Natural Essence processes, packs and distributes the harvest.
Education, Leisure and Retirement turn that income into opportunity, experience and care.
Empowering and nurturing the lifestyle of mankind
Building enterprises that uplift the people and communities they touch — a future where a good harvest is not a matter of luck but the natural result of good technology, fair finance and honest partnership, and where that harvest lifts the whole household, not just the field.
