Founded in the early 1994, Target Agriculture is the brainchild of our founder, Dr. Thomas Gerbracht. Having visited Sri Lanka as a tourist, he saw the immense potential of this island nation, and decided to start an operation to work closely with rural farming communities and export organic produce to foreign markets. This dream, which initially started as a family project, has now expanded to four countries across Asia, exporting the goodness of nature, to Europe, America, Asia, and Australia, and impacting the lives of many.
The company is engaged in value addition to fruits in 3 categories which are dehydrated fruits, fruit juices/pulps/purees and IQF Fruits. Later, Target expanded and included 3 other countries which are Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia. From its humble origins as a family project in Sri Lanka, Target has grown to provide more than 200 certified organic products, from organic farms all over Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia to customers in Europe, America, Asia, and Australia.
We are committed to supporting the development of the rural agricultural industry and the rural economies of the countries we operate in. Ensuring all our activities are certified by internationally recognised organisations is a key priority for our business.
Supplying healthier organic food products in a better cooperation with customers and suppliers.
To consistently educate, encourage and empower rural farming communities to supply high quality organic produce, and connect them to discerning customers around the world
Since the inception of Target Agriculture, we have followed strict guidelines in maintaining the integrity of our brand and the organic promise we offer our customers. Accordingly, we have received numerous certifications from internationally accepted organisations that serve to reinforce the principles we stand for.
Over 28 years ago, successful German entrepreneur, Dr. Thomas Gerbracht visited Sri Lanka as a tourist, and didn’t just fall in love with the country, but also had the vision to see the potential this country held. Deciding to pursue his dream, he sold his business interests in Germany and began cultivating organically grown fruits and coconuts on a small plantation in the south of Sri Lanka.
What began as a single man’s vision has now grown into a multinational organic food business that spans four countries across Asia, employing over 500 people and helping thousands of rural farmers to export their organic produce to markets across America, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
