Sri Lanka: Increased awareness about pest management and food safety
Experts of Control Union, the organization that monitors residue levels and certificates farmers, gave Guest lectures. The agricultural sector of Sri Lanka plays a key role in the country's economic development. Sri Lanka can cultivate vegetables, flowers, and fruit all year round. Using techniques and practices for an efficient and sustainable production are becoming increasingly important more than anything else.
