Sri Lanka will host the 60th Session and Ministerial Meetings of the International Coconut Community (ICC) this year. The decision, approved by the Cabinet of Ministers, aims to enhance foreign exchange earnings and foster stronger international cooperation within the coconut sector.
The Minister of Agriculture and Plantation Industries presented the proposal, emphasizing the benefits of showcasing Sri Lanka’s coconut industry achievements and potential. The event is scheduled to take place in Colombo this November, leveraging funds from the Coconut Development Authority and contributions from private sector stakeholders in the coconut industry.
This high-profile meeting will bring together key players in the global coconut market, facilitating discussions on industry trends, innovations, and collaborative opportunities. Hosting the ICC session underscores Sri Lanka's commitment to advancing its agricultural sector and expanding its reach in international markets.
