A catalytic role in helping Sri Lankan farmers improve yields and
quality of agri crops and livestock has enabled the agriculture sector
companies of the Hayleys Group to sweep the boards at the annual
National Agribusiness Council Awards 2008 for the third successive year.
Hayleys Agro Products Limited (HAPL) and HJS Condiments Ltd., and
Sunfrost Limited won three Gold awards, one Silver and two Bronze awards
at this year's event, in yet another acknowledgement by their peers of
the impact these companies have had on agriculture through milestone
contributions to enhancing sustainability in the sector.
Hayleys Agro Products received two Golds, one for inputs in
Agrochemicals/Fertiliser and one for Veterinary Care products, a Silver
for Services and a Bronze for Import and Supply of Farm Machinery
Equipment and Tools, while HJS took the Gold for Marketing and Sunfrost
the Bronze for Services.
Among the noteworthy recent developments credited to double Gold
winner Hayleys Agro Products is the introduction of the latest
environment friendly non-toxic pest control products for vegetables and
paddy, the introduction of new crop-specific and soil-specific
fertiliser blends and the introduction of new technology feed additives
that improve the quality and production of milk and eggs.
