There has been a tremendous increase in the interest in the concept of Agro tourism, and Sri Lanka is no exception. Sri Lanka has a long history of agriculture which has been developed over for 2500 years, ancient irrigation tanks, and plantations and paddy cultivation systems. Through agro tours, travelers can grow and harvest locally grown food, experience lake fishing, buy locally produced crafts, clothes, milking cattle on a dairy farm, having a go at plucking tea leaves, etc.

The popular locations for agro-tours are Central, Uva, and Southern provinces of the country, where these areas are famous for paddy cultivation and other cultivations like tea, rubber, and coconut. However, the hill country is also a top pick for vegetable and dairy farming.
