Tropical and humid all year, so lightweight cotton sells constantly; the south-west monsoon runs from May to September. Peaks follow April's New Year, Vesak, Christmas and the school terms.

How an order reaches Kurunegala

Goods for Kurunegala are cut, sewn and finished in our partner factories, inspected on an AQL basis and consolidated at our Gujarat base, then loaded at Mundra, Kandla or Nhava Sheva. The container is discharged at Colombo, and your clearing agent moves it on to Kurunegala. We quote FOB, CFR or CIF, and we send the invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and bill of lading as soon as the container is loaded.

Importers in Kurunegala usually start with a mixed first container to test the market: two or three fast-moving basics, one design-led line and a few trial styles. Repeat orders then concentrate on the lines that sell, which shortens the lead time because fabric and patterns are already on file.

Why importers in Kurunegala source garments from India

Buyers like cotton T-shirts, shirts, kurtis, leggings, school uniforms and kidswear, with strong demand around Sinhala and Tamil New Year, Vesak and Christmas.
