Zalmy told Mirror Business and added that the orders have already been placed.In the meantime, smaller quantities of exports will be destined to the UK with the first container leaving in a fortnight.

He said that the new facility, adjacent to its current one in Padukka, will contain the latest cutting-edge technology and be completed in the next six months, while the products will be given the British Retail Consortium (BRC) Global Standards, the benchmark for fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) exports.
