The Free Trade Zone Manufacturers’ Association (FTZMA) has recommended to the EDB the resumption of the Export Forum and a thriving environment for the sector.

This recommendation was made when FTZMA Chairman Dhammika Fernando and Executive Members paid a courtesy call on the Sri Lanka Export Development Board (EDB) Chairman Dr. Kingsley Bernard recently.

The key objective of the meeting was to explore avenues for mutual cooperation in advancing the shared goals of the FTZMA and the EDB to boost a thriving environment for the export sector in the country.

During the meeting, the EDB Chairman emphasised its continuous commitment to render their invaluable services for the export community to drive the growth of the country’s exports.

FTZMA Chairman Fernando sought the EDB to support in knowledge and data sharing about the prospective export markets, products on demand in such markets, trade statistics and tariff of the regional countries that are competing with our country’s exports.

It was also agreed to work collaboratively for resumption of the Export Forum that could resolve the issues faced by the exporter community expeditiously, as it enables high-level, cross-Government consideration towards country exports.
