MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT YEAR 2020/2021
It is with great pleasure that I convey this message to mark the 23 rd
Annual General Meeting of the Sri Lanka Food Processors Association.
For the past few years, SLFPA with the help of its Membership has
initiated and conducted workshops, seminars as well as educational
programs to share and communicate valuable information to thestakeholders in the food and associated industries as well as to thegeneral public in Colombo, suburbs and even in rural areas.
Due to COVID 19 we were compelled to cancel our main event –Profood/Propack exhibition which generally takes place in August,bringing disappointment to all our exhibitors & visitors.
SLFPA played an active role in bringing solutions to the issues faced by
the food industry and supporting industries by forming the SLFPA Task
Force and briefing the Presidential Task Force (which was mainly formed
to ensure uninterrupted food supply to the masses) regularly on theseissues during the lock-down period. This enabled the manufacturers tocater to the market demand even at reduced capacities.
We also successfully managed to hold an informative Webinar session
targeting the SME’s involved in the food manufacturing sector on 30th
May 2020. The main objective of the session was to energize the SMEs
and motivate them as they were the most affected during the pandemic
time. I wish to extend my sincere gratitude to all of you who participatedin this session.
I also acknowledge the untiring efforts of all members who volunteeredat the Institute of Food Science and Technology Sri Lanka.
I wish to make a humble request to all the members of the Association
to extend your unfaltering support in achieving the objectives of our
Association amidst the challenges we are facing during this crisis.
My sincere Thanks and appreciation to you all.

Nishan Perera,
President,
