The main objective of this agreement is to develop new opportunities for Sri Lankan farmers, supported by Noberasco’s firm intention to invest in training and resources to obtain products processed in Sri Lanka with rigorous quality control to guarantee customer satisfaction.’LFVPPEA President ZuraishHashim said: ‘Our vision is to have Sri Lankan fruit companies become the preferred supplier in the global market, and we as members need to take actions to make it happen. We call on exporters, producers, government bodies and development partners to address challenges and tap the full potential of the partnership with Noberasco for the benefit of all, from farmers to consumers.’LudovicaGhizzoni, ITC adviser on export quality management, said: ‘We have seen the fruit and vegetable sector growing under the leadership of LFVPPEA since 2013. The cooperation with Noberasco is the start of a journey to Europe not only for commercial opportunities but for sustainable and inclusive value chains where skills, knowledge, technology, health and people are at the heart of the partnership.’The Italian embassy in Colombo welcomed the beginning of ‘a long and “fruitful” cooperation’ on its Facebook page, acknowledging ITC for its support.- <a href="http://www.dailynews.lk/2019/03/15/business/180367/italy’s-noberasco-invest-lanka" target="_blank">http://www.dailynews.lk/2019/03/15/business/180367/italy’s-noberasco-invest-lanka</a></blockquote>
