Addressing the gathering, Ambassador Ajwad said that the participation of a large number of Sri Lankan companies manufacturing coconut based products for the first time at this most popular 40 years old Saudi Agriculture Expo in the Middle East region was a big breakthrough. He also urged other Sri Lankan Agri sector companies to make use of this opportunity to showcase their products in the years to come.
