The rubber products industry is the 4th largest export earning industry in Sri Lanka accounting for 7.9 % of the total merchandise exports in 2020 and has established a reputation for its quality and reliability internationally.
“Sri Lanka produces a wide variety of value added rubber products from both latex and dry rubber such as tyres, gloves, industrial components, mats, miscellaneous sports goods, etc. Our main export destinations are the US, Italy, Germany, Belgium, UK, France and Canada,” Mr. De Mel said during the online launch.
