Lost Ingredients Lab

Dilmah Tea has teamed up with Good Life X to launch the Lost Ingredients Lab: a platform for Sri Lankan organic and regenerative agriculture and food sectors to integrate their value chains through innovation and collaboration for meaningful growth. It will embody an 8-month long programme for SMEs starting by identifying local ingredients with 'Superfood' potential and going on to empower the producers of these ingredients to reach international markets.

In addition to bringing key native ingredients, namely, cashew, gotukola, jackfruit, mushroom, and seaweed to international markets, the project will engage SMEs and entrepreneurs in the process of innovation and sustainable growth. Participants will undergo an 8-month programme, in which the first phase focuses on research and development and the second phase concentrates on product development. This initiative could not come at a better time as Sri Lankan businesses face the need to adapt amidst unprecedented economic hardship.
