Ceylon Chamber releases new Directory of Members

The Ceylon Chamber of Commerce launched the 2009-2010 Directory of Members that lists essential contact information of many key sectors and is now available.

This well-categorised directory also includes a list of joint ventures, markets as well as trade marks and brand names. In addition to the contact details of the Chamber members, exporters, importers, manufacturers, processors, producers, service providers and distributors are also listed in this publication.

Details of agents, representatives, traders, suppliers, wholesalers are also included.

The membership directory can be purchased from the Foreign Trade and Information Division of the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce. Meanwhile, having realized the problems faced by the food processing sector, the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce in consultation with the National Agribusiness Council and the Sri Lanka Food Processors Association took steps to publish a user friendly handbook titled 'GMP and HACCP', particularly focusing on the SME sector with funding from the European Commission under the Asia Invest Project "South Europe Meets South Asia, SEMSA."

This book was launched at the inauguration ceremony of SEMSA in February.

The Chamber hopes that this would help companies implement GMP, Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) and Food Safety Management Systems. This book is also available with the Foreign Trade and Information Division of the Chamber.
