Jayalanka Group wins Bronze at Presidential Export Awards
Jayalanka Group, an emerging brand in the field of local food exports, reaffirmed its excellence by winning the Bronze Award for the Best Exporter of the Year in the New Export category at the Presidential Export Awards. The awards ceremony was organised by the Export Development Board at the Bandaranaike Memorial International Conference Hall and was attended to President Gotabhaya Rajapaksa and several Ministers and members of parliament.
“Our company was initially engaged in indirect exports. We had the opportunity to export a number of food products in a very short period of time after we shifted to direct exports. I gratefully acknowledge the founder of the company and my father, K. G. Upatissa. He constantly strove to provide customers with high quality products. I would also like to pay tribute to all our staff members who contributed to this achievement, said Ganidu Ishara, Chairman of the company.
Jayalanka Group exports a wide range of local food items including spices, sesame products and treacle products to Australia, Canada, Zambia, USA, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, New Zealand and Germany which contributes to bringing in a significant amount of exchange to the country.
