The most anticipated event in Sri Lanka\u2019s food industry calendar, Profood Propack & Agbiz 2025, organised by the Sri Lanka Food Processors Association (SLFPA) in partnership with Lanka Exhibition and Conference Services (LECS), will take place from 22 to 24 August 2025 at the Sirimavo Bandaranaike Exhibition and Convention Centre at BMICH, Colombo.<\/p>\n
The exhibition is endorsed and supported by the Ministry of Industries, the National Agribusiness Council, and the Institute of Food Science and Technology Sri Lanka (IFSTSL).<\/p>\n
For over 25 years, Profood Propack & Agbiz has been SLFPA\u2019s flagship platform, advancing Sri Lanka\u2019s food sector and contributing to economic growth. It unites market leaders from agriculture, food processing, packaging, and allied services, fostering knowledge-sharing, innovation, and strategic partnerships.<\/p>\n
This year, the exhibition has expanded the Knowledge Hub \u2013 introduced last year \u2013 to include a well-structured Consumer Assistance Desk, serving as an important touchpoint for new entrepreneurs seeking assistance and guidance in identifying opportunities.<\/p>\n
Mr Thusith Wijesinghe, President of SLFPA, remarked, \u201cWe are excited to present innovative food processing solutions, with the most outstanding entries receiving recognition and awards. Several of these have already progressed to commercialisation with the support of SLFPA, marking a significant step forward for the industry. To further strengthen this initiative, our Executive Committee has introduced a well-structured Industry Help Desk, located within the Knowledge Hub. This will serve as a vital resource for new entrepreneurs and trade visitors seeking guidance and support.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr Aruna Senanayake, Co-Chairman of the Profood Propack Organising Committee 2025, said, \u201cFor more than two decades, Profood Propack & Agbiz has been at the forefront of Sri Lanka\u2019s food industry, bringing together entrepreneurs, innovators, and investors under one roof. Our 2025 edition will build on this legacy by creating new pathways for trade, introducing fresh categories, and showcasing world-class solutions in food processing, packaging, and agribusiness. We are proud to offer a platform where ideas become opportunities, and opportunities turn into growth.\u201d<\/p>\n
A core objective of the event is to empower Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to present their products, establish strategic connections, enter new markets, and explore collaborations. Given the pivotal role of SMEs in national development, the exhibition offers unrivalled opportunities for visibility and engagement.<\/p>\n
Mr Vasantha Chandrapala, Co-Chairman of the Profood Propack Organising Committee 2025, added, “The strength of Sri Lanka\u2019s food industry lies in its remarkable diversity, from small, family-owned enterprises rooted in tradition to large-scale processors driving innovation and efficiency. Profood Propack & Agbiz is a platform where that diversity truly shines, providing a space where every stakeholder, regardless of scale, can connect, collaborate, and contribute to industry growth. We are confident this year\u2019s exhibition will serve as a catalyst for partnerships, investment, and knowledge exchange that will elevate the sector as a whole.\u201d<\/p>\n
