The location right under the Indian Peninsula and the natural deep harbours, bays, and anchorages along the coast provided adequate facilities for ships that sailed in the surrounding sea routes.<\/p>\n<p>Besides, Sri Lanka was connected to the world by maritime routes with popular ports in the southern, western, and northeastern regions of the country. It was an impressive point connecting the Arab world, India, and China, which used to be giants in international trade. Sri Lanka provided facilities for the traders in return for taxes and customs duties.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, Sri Lanka was a centre of transit trade from the very early days in history. The natural products from the country including <a href=\"https:\/\/lanka.com\/about\/interests\/gems\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">gems<\/a>, pearls, ivory, and many spices made Sri Lanka an important exporting country as well.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_436\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-436\" style=\"width: 606px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-436 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eatsandretreats.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/nn.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"606\" height=\"418\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eatsandretreats.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/nn.jpg 606w, https:\/\/www.eatsandretreats.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/nn-300x207.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 606px) 100vw, 606px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-436\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sri Lanka on the map of Petrus Bertius (1565 \u2013 1629).
