Rice Research and Development
The primary focus of rice research and development in Sri Lanka had always been to address the issue of prioritizing yield over grain quality.
At CIC, our main focus is on developing new rice varieties with high grain quality, that excel in aroma, taste, nutritional value and health properties. In recent years we have invested in improving our infrastructural facilities for research and development with the aim of developing improved rice varieties with enhanced eating and nutritional quality with health properties.

Whole Grain Red Rice
- In 2008 we achieved success with our very first rice variety 'Whole Grain Red Rice' with superior grain quality that not only has long grains with unique aroma but also having low glycemic index (Gl) making it suitable for people with diabetes. Our Whole Grain Red Rice is exported to multiple countries across the globe and is a firm favourite amongst our local consumers.
We have also achieved great success in purifying traditional Sri Lankan rice varieties like Suwandel, Kuruluthuda and Kaluheenati which are popular among Sri Lankans. Cultivating these varieties in our very own farms for national and international markets gives us a sense of fulfilment that cannot be compared. At CIC, we aim to continue our rice improvement program with even greater commitment and introduce more unique rice varieties with high grain quality combined with health properties that are attractive in the local as well as in the international market. With exceptional attention to detail and a personal touch, our cutting-edge rice processing facility in Maho, Sri Lanka is fully geared in producing over 10,000 metric tons annually of a diverse variety of rice.
Understanding Glycemic Index and its Role in Human Health
The Glycemic Index (G) - a measure that ranks carbohydrates-filled food according to their influence on blood sugar level over a period of two hours after a meal using a scale of 0 to 100. A comparatively lower GI value corresponds to a flatter curve in the rise of blood glucose level after a meal.
Low GI (0-55)
Refers to foods that have a Gl value of 55 or less and have a minimal impact on blood sugar levels. Consumption of low Gl foods can offer several health benefits, such as regulating blood sugar level, reducing insulin resistance and providing sustained energy. These benefits make them advantageous for individuals with diabetes or those trying to manage their weight. Additionally, low Gl foods could help in the reduction of liver fat and liver enzyme levels and reduce the risk of having nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
Medium GI (56-69)
Refers to foods that have a moderate impact on blood sugar levels. These foods typically have a Gl value between 56 and 69. Consumption of medium GI foods can provide a level of sustained energy and may be beneficial for individuals with certain health conditions.
High GI (70 or more)
Refers to foods that cause a rapid increase in blood sugar levels after consumption. These foods typically have a Gl value of 70 or more. Consumption of high Gl foods can cause a quick spike in blood sugar levels, leading to a subsequent crash in energy levels and increased hunger.
