The 10th International Processed Food and Packaging Exhibition 'Pro foods pack 2011" organised by Sri Lanka Food Processors Association (SLFPA) will be held at the Sirimavo Bandaranaike Memorial Exhibition Centre from August 26 to 28.

Sri Lanka's complete food supply chain will be showcased during the exhibition.

The exhibition will provide opportunities for individuals and companies to introduce their products, technology and services.

This is a public private partnership exhibition to be held with the support of the Ministry of Industries and Commerce and the Ministry of Agriculture Development.

The exhibition site will consist of over 200 stalls covering the total area of the food supply chain.

It will provide opportunities for investors, traders and consumers to see first-hand, the availability of opportunities in this industry.

The event will showcase the latest products in the local processed food industry, sampling of consumer favourites, innovations and technology development in packaging, newest agricultural machinery and services, processed food hygiene education and more.

The North and the East possess an unmatchable capacity for production, specially in agriculture, and the organisers will be mapping out their strategies, taking into account the positive changes that are expected to take place when the exhibition is held.

"One important aspect of our plans is to transfer the advanced technologies to the newly developing areas", said a member of the organising committee.
