Dearo Agri, a subsidiary of the Dearo Investment Group which continuously supports the advancement of business and agriculture in Sri Lanka, has extended its support to the national initiative “Eka Mitata Govibimata” launched by the Government with the aim of achieving self-sufficiency in rice by cultivating abandoned paddy lands. The program, introduced under a new government concept, is being carried out with the involvement of Gampaha District Member of Parliament Hon. Ashoka Ranwala. Dearo Agri looks forward to partnering with the Government to implement the program across the country. Operating under the theme “The Sri Lankan spirit building a self-sufficient nation and a prosperous future,” Dearo Agri will provide financial sponsorship for the cultivation of more than 50 hectares of abandoned paddy lands in Gampaha, Kaduwela, and Biyagama.
The company will offer farmers interest-free financial facilities, repayable after harvest, enabling them to continue cultivation without the burden of high-interest loans. Additionally, Dearo Agri will provide its tractors and modern agricultural machinery to farmers through cooperative societies, supporting every stage of the process from land preparation to harvesting. Through relevant officials and institutions, the necessary technical knowledge and guidance will also be delivered to farmers, ensuring maximum yield with minimum cost and effort. The company further intends to create alternative income opportunities for farmers, with other subsidiaries of the Dearo Investment Group also expected to contribute in various ways. “It is a great honor for us to be a part of this important national initiative at a time when many are moving away from agriculture,” said Mr. Prasanna Sanjeewa, Managing Director of the Dearo Investment Group. Leveraging modern technology and digitalization, Dearo Investment Group has earned the trust of customers by offering a wide range of financial services. These include personal and business loan schemes, customized investment plans, and entrepreneurial credit solutions designed to strengthen small, medium, and joint business ventures. The Group has also been recognized with multiple local and international awards.
