Our Story

About Midcity Marketing

Three decades of importing, distributing, and trading essential commodities across Sri Lanka and beyond.

A Legacy of Excellence Since 1995

Established in 1995, Midcity Marketing has grown into one of Sri Lanka's largest and most respected importers of dry commodities. Our company values of transparency, honesty, and trust have given us the foundation to build strong relationships with wholesalers across Sri Lanka and with organisations in our source markets worldwide.

Over more than three decades, we have mastered the art of importing and distributing dry commodities by creating a comprehensive supply chain that covers procurement, storage, packaging, and marketing of essential food commodities.

A Network That Spans Continents

Equipped with strong company values, Midcity Marketing has built a large distribution network supplying major public and private retailers and wholesalers across the country.

Our influence extends beyond Sri Lanka's borders, enabling sustainable relationships with leading exporters from India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, China, Egypt, the Netherlands, and Turkey who supply quality onions and potatoes to our markets.

We have also created a stable platform to promote and export Sri Lankan spices and soft commodities such as black pepper, tamarind, lentil husk, and king coconuts, helping Sri Lankan produce reach international households while supporting farmer programmes across the island.
