The objective of the inaugural ‘Lakkam Marketing Exhibition’ organized by the Ceylon Industrial Development Board island wide is to create a new market space and space for new orders for local young entrepreneurs and manufacturers.
This was opined by Minister of Industry Wimal Weerawansa, at the opening of the Colombo District Inaugural Lakes Market Lakkam yesterday (29) at Diyatha Uyana. The Ceylon Industrial Development Board (CIDB) hosted this event which concludes on 31.
“This exhibition will also expand the market space available to local SMEs and manufacturers in the country as there is very little marketing space available and to enable them to get new orders. We hope this event will encourage and empower young local entrepreneurs in particular to look at creating more self-employment projects,” he said. Lakkam sales fairs have been held in three major cities in the Kegalle, Kalutara and Gampaha districts and sales fairs will be held in the Anuradhapura, Galle and Matara districts in the coming days.
Ceylon Industrial Development Board Chairman Upasena Dissanayake says that local people who value localism have the opportunity to purchase local products of micro, small and medium scale industrialists registered with the Ceylon Industrial Development Board at these fairs.
The Ceylon Industrial Development Board also plans to hold 200 such fairs nationwide by the end of this year.
