Operating as a subsidiary of Singapore-based Prima Limited, the company functions through integrated business segments comprising Feed Milling, Poultry Breeding and Commercial Farming, Meat Processing and Distribution, and Agribusiness Services. The company's core product portfolio includes compounded animal feeds marketed under the Prima and Farmer's Choice brands, encompassing broiler feed, layer feed, cattle feed, swine feed, and aquafeed for commercial shrimp and ornamental fish; commercial day-old broiler and layer chicks produced through its primary subsidiary Three Acre Farms PLC and Millennium Multibreeder Farms (Private) Limited; parent stock and hatching eggs; fresh, chilled, and frozen chicken meat products marketed under the Prima Chicken brand; and imported veterinary pharmaceuticals, vaccines, feed additives, and automated poultry equipment. In addition, the company provides grain transshipment, commercial warehousing, diagnostic laboratory testing, and farm management consultancy services. Ceylon Grain Elevators operates feed milling infrastructure at the Port of Colombo alongside breeder farms, hatcheries, commercial broiler farms, and processing facilities located across Sri Lanka, serving commercial livestock producers, smallholder farmers, food service channels, and retail consumer markets.
