Fifteen investors have confirmed that they are coming to explore options available in the agriculture sector. 


In the meantime, a high number of investors have also shown an interest to look at sectors such as local knowledge services, power and energy and tourism and leisure sectors. 
The visiting investors are also looking to tap into business areas such as port development, export services, apparels and recycling of waste, etc. 


Telecommunications and related services, petroleum and related products such as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) also will come under the investors’ scope during the upcoming ‘Sri Lanka Investment and Business Conclave’, which will take place between March 8 and 10, 2016.
