Sri Lanka's economy is dominated by agriculture, and the country's most important export product is Ceylon black tea. The country is also one of the three largest tea-producing countries in the world, so the domestic economy is deeply affected by the tea production. In the process of liberalization, the growth rate continues to accelerate.

Sri Lanka's greatest advantage lies in its mining industry and geographical location. It is an island rich in precious stones, the top five gem producing countries in the world, and is known as the "gem island".

The export value of gemstones can reach 5 million US dollars every year, and rubies, sapphires and cat's eyes are the most famous.
