Good Market

The Good Market makes it easier to find and choose products that are good for our environment, our communities, and our health. Vendors go through an application and review process to make sure they meet the Good Market standards.

The Good Market is Belipola's main customer for fresh and processed foods (current as of January 2016). Orders are sent to the Good Market on Monday and Thursday afternoon by train at Bandarawela. The boxes are collected by Good Market staff. When the boxes are delivered to the train station the waybill number gets text messaged to the Good Market staff who picks up the boxes. The train goes overnight from Bandarawela to Fort. The Sri Lankan Railway is relatively strict and all boxes must have to/from detaisl, including name, address, phone number and NIC number. The box must be tied with rope and contents and value are disclosed to the agent.

Belipola hires a three-wheel to deliver the boxes to the station, collect the waybill and communicate the bill number for collection with the Good Market.

Invoices are sent at the end of every month by Belipola finance team and payments are made by deposit into the Belipola account. The financial officer at Good Market sends a scan of the deposit slip and deposit details via email. Sometimes we have to remind them, but usually they are on it!

Good Market has been our best supporter and is a very positive relationship between us.
