EDB Export Clinics Aim to Strengthen Regional SMEs and Expand Sri Lanka’s Export Potential
The Sri Lanka Export Development Board (EDB) is intensifying efforts to broaden the country’s export base by equipping small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the North Western Province with the knowledge and capabilities needed to access international markets.
As part of this initiative, the EDB’s North Western Provincial Office organised a series of export-focused business clinics in collaboration with District and Divisional Secretariat offices, attracting more than 100 entrepreneurs from the Kurunegala and Puttalam districts. The programmes were held on September 11 and October 16, respectively.
The clinics were designed to address export-related challenges faced by regional businesses, enhance entrepreneurs’ understanding of export procedures and requirements, and strengthen their capacity to compete in international markets.
Participants represented a diverse range of industries, including coconut and coconut-based products, spices, food and beverages, ornamental fish, cut flowers and foliage, textiles and apparel, and handicrafts.
The Kurunegala programme was attended by District Secretary D. M. K. C. Dissanayake and Additional District Secretary (Lands) Niluka K. Jayawardhana. The Puttalam programme was organised in collaboration with the Chilaw Divisional Secretariat.
Representatives from the Inland Revenue Department, Industrial Development Board, Small Enterprise Development Division, National Enterprise Development Authority and financial institutions provided individual advisory services to participating entrepreneurs.
The consultations focused on business-specific challenges, product development requirements and institutional assistance available to enhance competitiveness and export readiness.
Entrepreneurs were also connected with service providers specialising in export-standard packaging and labelling, logistics, certification, testing and inspection services. These areas play a vital role in helping businesses meet international market requirements and establish a sustainable presence overseas.
The EDB initiative is expected to encourage greater participation by regional SMEs in international trade, contributing to the diversification of Sri Lanka’s export portfolio, the creation of new business opportunities and the expansion of export-driven economic growth beyond the country’s traditional commercial centres.
