This is the largest flower show in the world and widely regarded as the world’s second most prestigious flower show, after London’s Chelsea Flower Show, at which Borneo Exotics has already won five Gold Medals and two special Annual Awards.
The exhibit staged at this show was described by the judges as “stunning and spectacular” and featured a jungle setting, focusing on some of the new hybrid plants bred by Borneo Exotics, all of which were created in Sri Lanka in a breeding programme stretching back over 15 years.
This highlights the suitability of Sri Lanka as a stable platform for long-term projects involving R&D and innovative development work.
The suitability and stability of Sri Lanka for long-term investment projects is also illustrated in a recent BOI video, parts of which feature some of the work being done at Borneo Exotics.
The firm’s management expressed their gratitude to their dedicated staff, for their massive efforts over many years, and the many Government Departments who extended a courteous and efficient service, particularly the Departments of Agriculture, Wildlife, Forestry, Customs and Excise and the Sri Lanka Board of Investment.
