CIC Agri Business will expand its business in the Northern Province.

“We have already initiated projects in the Eastern Province. We welcome all investors who wish to cultivate land in the Northern and Eastern Provinces”, an official of CIC Agri Business told Daily News Business.

CIC Agri Business provides consultancy services for any person or enterprise.

Depending on their needs our company is willing to cater to the customer’s needs. If a person already has a plot of land in those areas, our research and development team will check on the soil and weather conditions and advise which crops are suitable for their business.

Even if people have difficulties in locating a land in these areas, CIC Agri Business will provide them the best service to enhance their production and productivity.

“The rich soil in the Northern Province is much better to grow fruits and vegetables, especially paddy, bananas, pineapples, maize and palmyrah except potatoes. Projects will carry on the industry related to livestock production, processing and marketing of livestock products and issue high producing breeding materials to farmers in the surrounding areas as livestock could be carried out in the provinces without difficulty”, he said.

The planting material requirement of the country increases every year and the lack of quality material for planting purposes is considered one of the greatest impediments to develop the agriculture industry in Sri Lanka.

CIC Agri Business has introduced the latest farming technologies to Sri Lanka to facilitate investors who wish to cultivate land in the Northern Province to contribute to the expansion of the economy and prosper in agriculture.

CIC Agri Business offers novel species of seeds to farmers.

All agriculture inputs and management practices recommended by the company are tested at the Research and Development unit before they are passed on to customers.

In addition, many collaborative research programs with universities and international seed companies are undertaken to further improve the productivity of farms.
