TRENOS SiGINT: Sri Lanka’s Miditer Goes Vegan at Fine Food Sydney

JC Analyst - September, 2025

Signal:

Miditer is taking Sri Lanka’s food story beyond coconuts and dried fruit. At Fine Food Australia in Sydney (8–11 Sept), the brand will showcase new vegan FMCG lines alongside its heritage fruit and nutraceutical exports. This marks a bigger signal as Sri Lanka edges away from commodity-driven exports and into value-added, plant-based consumer goods that can sit comfortably on supermarket shelves from Sydney to San Francisco.

Human Factor:

This is about identity as much as it is about trade. For years Sri Lankan products were tucked away as anonymous ingredients in other people’s brands. Miditer is rewriting that script—stepping forward with certified organic, vegan-friendly, ready-to-eat products consumers can recognise, trust, and even TikTok. It’s proof small-island producers can leap into the global FMCG conversation with credibility, sustainability, and flavour.
