The Browns Agriculture Division was selected by the Government of Sri Lanka as the preferred partner in its initiative to distribute water to the drought affected communities in the country.
Browns TAFE 45DI tractors were chosen for this endeavour and the ceremony for handing over the tractors to the respective District Secretarial offices in the drought-affected areas took place at Temple Trees recently with Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe attending the occasion as the Chief Guest.
The program was initiated under the leadership and guidance of President Maithripala Sirisena and was organised by Minister of Home Affairs Vajira Abeywardena.
Browns TAFE 45DI tractors and bowsers were handed over to the District Secretarial Offices of Gampaha, Kurunegala, Puttalam, Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa and Monaragala. Browns TAFE tractors are widely acclaimed for quality and low cost of operation and have been built and enhanced both technically and practically in keeping with the customers’ needs in mind.
Browns has also been identified as the best after sales service provider in the agriculture machinery industry. Hence, the Government has selected Browns TAFE Tractors as the most appropriate Tractor brand for this important initiative.
Sharing his views about this program, Sanjaya Nissanka, Deputy General Manager of Browns Agriculture, said: “As an organisation we are honoured and yet humbled to have had the opportunity to take part in this noble initiative. We salute and appreciate the Government’s strife in constantly seeking ways to ease the hardships and improve the lives of the rural community of Sri Lanka. We hope to join hands with the Government in similar programmes in the near future.”

The organisation has, for the past 10 years been market leaders in the tractor industry, holding almost 60%of the market share at present and has been constantly ranked as the best after sales service provider in the agri-machinery industry.
