Food processors to battle at annual six-a-side soft ball cricket tournament on 27 May

The Sri Lanka Food Processors Association will hold its fourth annual six-a-side softball cricket match on 27 May.

The Sri Lanka Food Processors Association Challenge Trophy will be played on a league basis and the winning teams will advance to the play-offs. Trophies for the Best Team, Man of the Series, Woman of the Series and Best Decorated Tent will be presented to the participating teams.

The event is organised for the food and beverage industry as well as other related industries and for members of the Sri Lanka Food Processors Association so that staff members from all organisations can come together to network and socialise.

All participants, supporters, well-wishers and onlookers can expect a day filled with lots of fun. 

The entire food processing fraternity looks forward to making this cricket tournament the most popular outdoor event. Founded in 1997 as an advocacy group, the Sri Lanka Food Processors Association currently consists of over 140 member companies.

Committed to the development of the country’s processed food and beverage industry, the association consists of members from all relevant subsectors addressing such issues as national policy, intraregional cooperation, technology, knowledge transfer and marketing. The group offers leadership to the small but vibrant National Processed Food Industry. Vital to the island nation’s agro-based economy, the sector directly employs over 3,000 people while supporting over four million back stream producers.

The SLFPA consists of all sizes of industry, including multinational, large, medium, small and micro-scale industries. The member industries consist of food ingredients, grocery products, confectionery and bakery products, frozen foods, fruit and vegetable-based products and beverages.
