Sri Lanka to import 18 million eggs from India for Chrismas and New Year

The Sri Lankan Cabinet granted approval to import 50,000 metric tons of GR11 rice, which is similar to Keeri Samba non basmati rice, and eggs to meet the shortfall in the market, according to Sri Lankan media reports.

Accordingly, the private sector will be permitted to import 50,000 MTs of GR11 rice following a Cabinet Paper submitted by the Trade Minister.

Since there is ban in India for export of non basmati rice, it remains to be seen whether the Indian government would relax the ban because of the neighborhood first policy says the trade sources in India

Meanwhile, the Cabinet also granted approval to continue the import of eggs from India due to the increase in egg prices in the local market. A total of 155 million eggs have been imported to the country so far and a further stock of 18 million eggs will be imported before December 31, 2023.

The Cabinet has also granted approval for the State Trading (General) Corporation to import 15,000 metric tons of maize to meet the demand for poultry feed production.
