Warehousing
In 2000, just two years after our inception, when Asia Siyaka opened its state of the art logistics centre, we introduced a new dimension to the service of a traditional intermediary. Colombo auction’s logistics systems which had changed very little in its 100 year history, was made significantly more effective with the introduction of Asia Siyaka’s innovative systems. For the first time a broker, was able to add considerable value to the pre and post auction logistics process, whilst cutting costs and operating time at both ends of the value chain. Asia Siyaka’s logistics center which is located at the heart of the tea hub in Colombo is strategically positioned close to the new high way and is home to 150,000 packages or 6 million kilograms of tea at any given time. The first tea broker’s warehouse to be ISO certified in 2001, this centre is now managed under the new ISO 22000 standards. Our logistics centre has become the industry standard for the tea broking community and is a model used by trading and marketing companies in design and layout planning for their own units.
Rubber and Non- Traditional Commodities
The performance of the Group’s Rubber broking division was subdued, affected by a fall in production due to unfavourable weather conditions as well as relatively weak prices. During the year under review, the division also transitioned to a new operational structure, with new talent being brought in to facilitate future growth. The group remains optimistic regarding the opportunities presented in this line of business and intend to capitalise on its expertise in the tea broking industry to expand its operations in rubber.The group also acts as a market intermediary for a range of non-traditional crops including desiccated coconut, palm oil and spices. As a recent entrant to this industry, the contributions from this business line are still relatively small. However, earnings contribution from this segment is anticipated to widen in the coming financial year, particularly through desiccated coconut.
