Nurtured by Kings and rulers for over 2500 years, traditional paddy cultivation in Sri Lanka goes back to earlier than 500 BC. One of the most complex systems of irrigation in the ancient world, it watered the rice fields of ancient Sri Lanka and was famed as the ‘Granary of the East’.

The Hettiarachchi family is proud to continue this Polonnaruwa tradition of feeding the nation by producing the widest range, and the highest quality of rice in Sri Lanka

As a family owned business based in Polonnaruwa, our connection to our roots, our community, culture and environment gives substance and form to Hiru Rice.
