Commenting on the Anchor Newdale ‘Apeyma Kiri Chaarikawa’ event, Fonterra Brands Lanka Director Marketing Roshan de Silva said: “Anchor Newdale has been one of the most favoured yoghurts amongst Sri Lankan kids for the past 15 years. We have been making this nutritious yoghurt with milk sourced from our very own Sri Lankan farmers. We collect over 10 million litres of fresh milk annually. We will continue our efforts to develop local milk production through dairy development initiatives, empowering Sri Lanka’s dairy farmer families.” He further added: “The Anchor Newdale ‘Apeyma Kiri Chaarikawa’ is a guided tour that will allow our consumers and all Sri Lankans to witness first-hand how our products are made, where they come from and the quality processes in place.” The public is kindly requested to register for the Anchor Newdale ‘Apeyma Kiri Chaarikawa’ only through the Anchor Hotline on +9411-2468468.
