Lassana.com, the leading flowers, cakes and gifting service provider in the country, has enhanced their product portfolio to introduce fresh fruits and vegetables by re-engineering their business operations to better fit market needs in a time of crisis.
Now, Lassana has fine-tuned a revolutionary methodology where most of their fresh produce reaches the customer within 24 hours of harvest.
Introducing a freshness culture to the nation, Lassana.com has extended their long expertise of caring for flowers to fresh fruits and vegetables, ensuring that only the best practices are utilised in their sourcing and delivery. Sourcing produce directly from local farmers, Lassana applies a farm-to-table policy, ensuring that customers receive fresh, healthy fruits and vegetables at or below market prices, simultaneously enriching the lives of farmers as well. This concept is further strengthened by Lassana’s 24-hour Freshness Guarantee that ensures fresh produce is harvested, transported, and delivered to customers within a 24-hour time frame. Utilising their expertise in the field, Lassana.com brings together a dynamic team of agronomists and farmers, and a quality assurance team, to ensure quality is maintained throughout the supply chain and to deliver the freshest produce right to your doorstep.
Speaking on the initiative, Lassana.com Chairman Dr. Lasantha Malavige stated: “Lassana caters to consumers who value health, quality and excellence in service. We are passionate about health and happiness and strive to provide our customers with the finest and freshest quality produce. We have made a significant effort to make available and easily accessible a comprehensive range of healthy exotic vegetables, herbs, yams, green leaves and fruits. This has been appreciated by our health-conscious customers as they now have the access to range of products that were only available in specialty markets.
“We have made difference in farmers’ lives too by inculcating good agriculture practices and values so that quality and safety is not compromised at any stage of the cultivation. The farmer training, monitoring and stringent post-harvest management strategies assures freshness and quality. We believe that a lack of reliable suppliers for organic produce has always been a challenge for all of us. To address this challenge, we are delighted to announce that we have started farming our own range of organic fresh produce. Every day we strive to deliver healthy, fresh produce to households across the island at affordable prices and will continue to evolve to make more healthy products available with innovative service enhancement strategies.”
