Sri Lankan Ambassador to Thailand Wijayanthi Edirisinghe held a fruitful interaction with representatives of the Sri Lankan company New Frontiers Ltd. on 23 August, with a view to obtaining Thai expertise to boost Sri Lanka’s agricultural sector.
Discussions held at the meeting were centred on initiating collaborations between the company and Thai experts, particularly the Thailand Institute of Scientific and Technological Research, to improve Sri Lanka’s agricultural sector.
New Frontiers Ltd. is a leading exporter of fruits and vegetables in Sri Lanka that has ventured into fruit and vegetable processing. The company aims to add value to its products as part of its ongoing efforts to minimise post-harvest losses and enhance the competitiveness of Sri Lankan exports.
Proposed collaborations with Thai experts and Sri Lankan exporters are expected to improve the quality and sustainability of Sri Lankan exports, create new opportunities for global market access, and ensure Sri Lanka’s competitiveness in the international agricultural trade.
