COLOMBO: Sri Lanka will import one million eggs daily from five chicken farms in India to meet its growing market demand, the crisis-hit island nation’s top importing agency has said.
Sri Lanka State Trading Corporation (STC) Chairman Asiri Valisundara said that 20 million eggs were imported from India, of which 10 million have been released to the market.
The eggs were being imported from two chicken farms in India, and the Animal Production Department has additionally approved the purchase of eggs from three other farms, Valisundara was quoted as saying by the Colombo Page news portal on May 30.
Sri Lanka has been facing a severe and unprecedented economic crisis since last year. The island nation is struggling to normalise its crisis-hit economy after it declared its first-ever debt default in April last year.
