DFCC Bank strengthens Thambuttegama banana farming and Kegalle small businesses

DFCC Bank PLC has expanded its flagship DFCC ‘Wyapara Hamuwa’ programme to Thambuttegama and Kegalle, supporting banana farmers and small business owners with financial knowledge, market insights and practical tools to strengthen livelihoods and fuel regional economic growth.

Conducted in partnership with Rajanganaya A-Park Ltd, the sessions provided farmers and entrepreneurs with guidance on financial literacy, entrepreneurship development and sustainable business practices. Designed to move beyond theory, the programme offered practical solutions to common challenges such as limited access to finance, market linkages and the need for modernised operations.

DFCC Bank Vice President Business Banking Pradeep De Alwis said, “Supporting banana cultivators in Thambuttegama and entrepreneurs in Kegalle means nurturing the roots of rural economies, ensuring that communities and future generations can thrive.”
