Directory CD for exporters launched

Minister of Economic Development Basil Rajapaksa recently launched the Sri Lanka Export Development Board's (EDB) CD Directory for Exporters at the Export Bazaar. Minister of Industries and Commerce Rishad Bathiudeen and Chairman/Chief Executive EDB Janaka Ratnayake were also present.

SLT Rainbow Pages has developed the CD Ruwan Wijetunga, in partnership with the EDB and showcases local businesses in overseas markets.

At a time when a new growth spurt is witnessed in the industries of our country, many exporters want to showcase their products and services in overseas markets to attract foreign buyers.

The directory CD is the ideal platform for this interaction and will be instrumental in giving popularity to local businesses overseas.

EDB Chairman and CEO Janaka Ratnayake said, "The collaboration of two nationally important entities will surely uplift Sri Lanka's image and give the much needed boost to exporters".

In keeping with the policy of giving customers the best and the latest, Rainbow Pages in collaboration with EDB, plans to launch a web directory and an e directory for exporters.

CEO, SLT Rainbow Pages Malraj Balapitiya said that they are planning to develop a web directory exclusively for exporters.

The web directory will provide exposure to exporters through the national web site.

When overseas visitors need information about a local business, they access the countries main directory web site.

In 2010 people from 155 countries accessed the Rainbow Pages web site to search for information and this shows the popularity of this web site.
