The Cabinet of Ministers has granted approval to permit the Sri Lanka Thriposha Limited Company to import 18,000 Metric Tonnes of maize.
Accordingly, the Thriposha Limited Company is to import the maize for ‘Thriposha’ production, a nutritional supplement given to children and pregnant women and lactating mothers.
According to Cabinet Spokesman – Minister Dr. Nalinda Jayatissa, lack of maize in the required quality in the local market is the reason behind the decision to import a large quantity of maize.
