TRACE & Sri Lanka Agriprenuers Forum (SLAF) Agreement Signing

TRACE – Sri Lanka signed an agreement with SLAF recently to innovate the Agritech ecosystems in Sri Lanka. The Chairman of SLAF Mr. Rizvi Zaheed and the Chairman of TRACE Mr. Kusal Subasinghe signed the Agreement. This special moment took place at TRACE Expert City Colombo.

The Sri Lanka Agripreneurs’ Forum (SLAF) was set up in 2020 during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic to address, not just the issues arising from the pandemic, but also to serve as the pivotal body for the agricultural community in Sri Lanka, covering the entire spectrum of stakeholders.

The objectives being to bring up agriculture to a viable and vibrant activity and thereby ensure both national food security and to uplift the small farmers from the current subsistence level existence, to a respected and essential contributor to the agricultural economy. Another objective is improving the data resources available for academics and connecting all stakeholders through one common platform, which would aid the collective development of all those involved in the sector. We have continuously engaged with all key stakeholders including the highest echelons of government to push for the speedy transformation of agriculture.
