NCE helps potential exporters

Potential exporters play a vital role in the economy. Many of them have the potential to be developed as direct exporters and service providers to exporters, to expand exports and play a more meaningful role in the economy.

Thirty potential exporters took part in initial discussions in two batches in May and June in the conference room of the Chamber.

As enrolled NCE members, they will benefit through a wide range of services that would assist them in the development of their export businesses.

The 30 members had discussions with a panel headed by the President of the Chamber, Product Sectoral Heads and other professionals from the export sector.

After one year, selected potential exporters could join the Chamber, as full or associate members, or opt out of the program.

Training on export procedures and applicable regulations, assistance to identify buyers, develop product brochures and business plans, packaging and display products at exhibitions are some of the benefits of the program.

The National Chamber of Exporters of Sri Lanka (NCE) is the only private sector Chamber which serves Sri Lankan exporters and service providers to exporters.

The Chamber has over 450 member companies of which 90% are exporters and the rest are service providers to exporters.

The member companies represent all products and most service sectors.
