Sri Lanka Insurance partners with SLIM Agrisaviya to nurture the agriculture sector

Sri Lanka Insurance partners with Sri Lanka Institute of Marketing (SLIM) as the insurance partner for the “Agrisaviya”, the first Agri-Business Management and Entrepreneurial Programme offered in Sri Lanka.

The Certificate in Agri-Business and Entrepreneurship (CABE) programme is a first-of-its-kind qualification available in Sri Lanka to transform farmers into Agriprenureres.

The agriculture sector of Sri Lanka is one of the most important sources of employment for the majority of the workforce in Sri Lanka. Approximately 2.1 million persons or 25.5% of the total employed population, are engaged in agriculture, inclusive of forestry and fishery. As the national insurer, Sri Lanka Insurance has always been keen on empowering the working population who are driving the economy forward. Being the insurance partner for the “Agrisaviya” is yet another initiative to uplift the living standards of those who are engaged in the agriculture sector while contributing towards the national development of Sri Lanka.
