The Hon. Ajith Gihan
Hon. Ajith Gihan raised concerns that EU and Western market restrictions could increase shrimp re-exports through Sri Lanka, creating risks of disease entering local aquaculture zones and damaging Sri Lanka’s export reputation if products are sold under the Sri Lankan name. He also asked how the Government would prevent imported shrimp from entering the domestic market and depressing prices for local producers.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 First supplementary: EU and Western market restrictions could drive more re-export via Sri Lanka, risking introduction of diseases to our aquaculture zones and reputational harm if exported under the Sri Lankan name. Also, imported shrimp could depress local prices if it enters the domestic market. How are these risks addressed?
